There was an article in one of my magazines, but I can't find the darn thing now. *sigh*
Moonhoney, I have been reading up quite alot about this method, as I intend doing my next quilt this way. Basically you can divide your quilt top up into as many workable pieces as you like, be it by block, or by quarters if you have a large separate border you can quilt that separately then you piece all the individually quilted sections together at the end.

You need to plan ahead, visualizing where you are going to rejoin the top together after quilting....does that help???
