Oh Wow, this is beautiful. I like your idea of the quilt as you go. I am not fond of "all over" quilting. Guess I am of the "old school" where the quilting should enhance the block. I am making this into 2 lap size quilts, so won't have so much to handle, but may break it down into smaller sections. Are you using the sashing piece that is listed in the book? It is an odd size. I may cut 1" strips to put between my blocks, what does everything think?
