Here is a goal: What is an easy way to make a baby quilt without cutting a lot pieces to be sown together?

Which way makes more sense to accomplish this goal?
Cut 2 matching pieces of material and 1 if batting with scissors, sandwich the batting with the print materials placing print sides out, sew a line 1" from the edge all the way around, then fold edges in and sew around the edges again, and then sew in circular motions all over the quilt and cut strings off when done.
