I love this book and I'm doing my first quilt with the section method now. It's an extra-large double Log Cabin with a wide border. I split it into 7 sections and have them all quilted....SID and additional straight-line quilting on my Bernina.
But, I'm going to assemble the sections a little differently than Marti's methods. I've left the outside "logs" on each block unquilted...they are 2" wide. My batting and backing are cut oversize at about 3" wider than the quilted section. I'm using two layers of a cotton batting and including batting in a seam would be too bulky, so I will use the Batting Seam Tape fusible to connection the batting layers of each section. The final quilting will catch the fused area to help stablize it.
My test piece came out great....no extra bulk where the sections were joined and a nice turned under edge on the back (without a covering strip). I will use Marti's border method for the two borders.
I'm taking pictures as I go and if it works out well, I'll post a tutorial.
