I don't know of any other way to do it, perhaps someone else will have a better solution for us! It also requires lots of stops/starts, and since this is just a utility quilt, I am just doing a little backstitch on each start/stop to secure the threads, otherwise there would be LOTS of thread tails to bury by hand and I just don't have that much patience. Here is a photo of the one I am working on. I also am just doing it by sight, not bothering to mark the quilt to get exact spacing, so you will see lots of 'artistic' variances!
