quilt as you go is where you divide your quilt top into sections and quilt each section as if it was a little quilt. then you sew it back together into one big quilt. There different methods but if you ask some of your quilt friends closer to you, they might be able to show you how to do it. It is hard to explain unless I could show you. If you still get Simply Quilts, there was a show dealing with different ways of how to do it. There is a little bit of hand stitching involved when sewing the back seams together. Sorry.
