Please forgive my ignorance, I am pretty new to quilting, although I am completely addicted to it. What is the cotton method?

I have almost finished a "quit as you go" quilt using the method on a Craftsy video, will post a picture when it is finished. I am very happy with it. If you don't have a long arm and don't want to "wrestle" with a large quilt on a small machine it is the way to go.

What am I doing wrong? Or have I not found the right method?
You have not found the fight method yet, it is the only kind of quiltilng I do, the Jenn join I do not know, but the 2nd one is not something I am fond of.

The Cotton method is named for Betty Cotton who developed it. A lot of folks don't like it because the joins are thick and stiff. My sister took her class. I can see using it for a runner, but not a quilt. Not cuddly at all.
here's a video. I had to laugh at the title... "Learn the original quilt first then assemble quilting method"
Don't really think this was the first.

I really like this one. Not too complicated. using wash away stabilizer keeps it soft after washing. Super cute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWKVNQTG-74 (Linda Goodall's method.

There is a book called crazy shortcut quilts by Marguerite Mcmanus, that is worth taking a look at, this author was a longarm quilter who decided that she needed to come up with another way to do it. Like all the other methods this is not for everyone, I believe that she has some tutorials on U tube as well you might check out.
