My sister-in-law in OK sent me a lap quilting book written by Georgia Bonesteel which shows you how to make and quilt (hand or machine) one block at a time and how to then sew them together to make any size you desire. She had a stroke and her eyesight was affected in such a way that she is unable to work on a large quilt, but can do the individual blocks and then sew together. I learned this way and that's how I do it.
