I think most people think of quilt as you go as block by block-in other words you make a block, quilt it, and then make another, quilt it, etc. Then you somehow assemble the quilted blocks together into a large quilt. Personally I don't have much trouble machine quilting a small wall hanging or baby size quilt. My issue is with a twin, queen, etc and I want to make them in sections or quilt individual blocks before I assemble.
