Now would be the time to watch a tutorial on *lap quilting.* When I first learned to quilt in a community class, I was taught the lap quilting method. I made my first two huge quilts in less than 6 weeks that way. I carried each section with me everywhere I went--doctors' offices, school meetings, social gatherings, etc. It was a wonderful conversation starter too, because everyone gathered around to watch. You really ought to consider this method if your space is limited and if you do not have a long-arm quilter.
