The first large quilt I finished, was machine quilted block by block. I learned a lot in the process and am using this technique for one I am making for my grandson.
Used an the out of print Marti Michell Weekend Log Cabin Quilts book as my guide. She has since written a new book on quilting in sections, but I don't remember the name. A plus to doing it this way is that you can use up a lot of stash including fat quarters and have a reversible quilt. In fact this one was hung backwards at a quilt show. :P I have 6 sets of blocks waiting to be finished with this method, so I too am one who starts lots before I finish :-P. Welcome to the club.
