I woud like to applique the top material together with the batting and the backing block by block. The reason is that I have a difficult time machine quilting the entire twin bed sized quilt after the fact.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
They are called QAYG (Quilt As You Go) and yes, you can do that. Do a search for them and you will find a tutorial, if I remember right. You can also google and find many topics on them. Good Luck and have lots of fun!
