Could this work
#1
I am making a Christmas theme wedding gift for a Grandson.
Is it possible to cut batting for each panel so I can stitch in a ditch at all connecting pieces? My thought process is to complete each panel, Frame each with 2" bands. Then connect all of the panels together just at the frame. Then add the backing and finish.
My reasoning is that I don't want to tie it all together and my machine is pretty general. Does that make any sense to anyone out there?

Look on YouTube for "quilting in sections" or "quilt as you go". There are dozens of videos showing different ways to do what you are thinking about. Maybe you will find a plan that will work for you.

You are describing a quilt as you go (QAYG) method. normally you would also cut the backing to size and quilt that in, then join, however, leaving the backing off and adding it at the end will work too if you can figure out how to get batting behind the sashing strips.
Here's a link to the qayg tutorials on this board.
