Georgia Bonsteel has a site on line that will show instructions on how to Quilt as You Go" I have made 2 Queen size quilts that way, all quilted by hand. I myself find is easier to attach 2 or 3 rows together and quilt them. Also I have found it easier to attach the borders at the same time. That I learned after doing the first queen. Right now I am working on a Yellow Brick Road queen, divided in fourth including top and bottom border and side border. I do not have a frame, so I stitch either at the table or on my lap. Hope this will help you out.
