This is a youtube I found that had a joining method that I thought I could do consistantly. http://youtu.be/tWKVNQTG-74
she is working on an embroidered quilt, but the method she uses to put them together works great for me. My method is hers, with a few "Kellyisms" added. The first quilt I did this way (a double) took only two weeks from the first cut to the delivery! I am two days into the second much bigger (84" x 108") one!

After quilting the blocks, I zigzag them together. I do a row at a time. Then I cover the zigzag seams with seam binding that I make to match the quilt, doing the back first. I do all the rows, then put the rows together the same way. Adding a row one at a time and then cover the seams, all the bulk of the quilt will be to the right, so you want have a lot of quilt on your left to deal with. I love this method. It is really quick after you get the hang of it.

I just copied this from a later post; sorry not hypertext, but this is a good way.

My first QAG was done row by row, then rows joined. By the end of joining a big quilt, my shoulders were very sore. The one I am making now, I am going to put together in quarters, so I only have one long seam to fight. Duh Kelly, so much easier!
