Honestly it didn't take me much longer to do this technique than it would have to sew my rows together. I learned this because my daughter needs to make a baby quilt and she is not much of a sewer and didn't want to spend the money to have it professionally quilted. I didn't want to force my awful quilting on a sweet baby.
This is also what I've started doing! 1st started a couple of years ago & love it.
