Default Unsure about starting and stopping quilting in the middle

Hello fellow quilters!

I am self taught and don't really know anyone that quilts so this place is a blessing.

I was looking at a pattern called triangle tango that has a checker board affect alternating between a white print and multiple colored prints. The sample was quilted with stippling in the white triangle/diamonds and straight lines in the colored triangle/diamonds.

This is where I am a bit unsure. The lines are not continuous so you are essentially quilting one block at a time. How do you deal with the ends of the thread? And doesn't this take for ever??

I have done pretty basic quilting with continuous lines so I haven't really run into this issue before.

Any info would be appreciated
