I was in Paducah and Martin Michell was in her booth when I arrived. I asked her if she gave seminars about quilt as you go. She pointed to her book and she she thought she had it covered pretty good in her book but now she has came upon a new idea. She showed me and two other women how she now irons her batting together without the strips she formerly used. It was very interesting and I bought the iron on tape for batting. She also sold much wider tape for quilters who want to quilt in parts. She suggest you cut your batting in a wavy line and then iron it together. Sounds like you have a method also and your quilt is lovely.
