Hi Corry. I used this method a few times. The 1st time was with a log cabin. No quilting stitches shown on the front of the quilt. I used a "flip&sew" method. Worked out very well. I will try the "fun&done" method sometime. It looks interesting.
Thanks for the reply. Am excited to try this very soon. I have recently learned to hand quilt (two weeks ago), so feel I have more options now on completing my quilts. I am hoping to buy a gracie frame and maybe a Juki someday but that will be a year or so from now. Just not ready. Trying to make room and want to take some lessons at a local quilt store and then am going to practice on my friends long arm to make sure I like it. But I have found I really enjoy the hand quilting. Not going to do all my quilts by hand because of the time factor so this quilt as you go method is another great alternative. I had thought you always had to have the sashing with this method and don't always want to do sashing. Oh yes, going to have to try this soon!! I have 3 more websites to finish before I will have more sewing time but maybe next week I can look forward to some serious quilting time. Wish I could retire but then how would I pay for my addiction?? lol
