I want to try quilt as you go but I don't want to hand stitch the back or add sashing so this seemed like a good alternative. Thanks!

I see that most of the quilting is done on individual blocks before assembling, but stitching in the ditch once assembled and backed using this method on a large quilt will still be unwieldy. I also question what it looks like to have a double thickness of batting at the opened seams. Certainly the batting must be thin to use this method.
