I did a Christmas stocking this way. It's in storage, otherwise I'd grab it and take a picture, but I would suggest starting on a small project with the QAYG method. It's time consuming, but a lot of fun. Check with your LQS to see if classes are offered for 'Cotton Theory' - the other term for Quilt as you go.

I tried to do the QAYG - I now have the quilt all connected - but the piece the has to be folded over to create the sashing has been giving me absolute fits. Broken needles and now birds nests.... I'm putting it away until I gather some more patience

Both are very good tutorials, with a ton of pictures and detailed instructions.
The method watterside is showing is different from the methods shown in Kimberly's tutorial.
It's the same (or similar) to the QAYG method shown in the tutorial by DebWatkins:

Also well written, but the final product has a different look.
Check them all out, pick and choose steps from each if it works for you. It's a great technique to know.
