No dear, you are speaking of quilting your quilt layers together after you have made a full top, with your hands making the stitches. "Quilt as you go" (QAG) is placing a backing, a batting, and pieces of a top, usually in squares or rectangles, that are stitched through all three layers, so when the square is done, it only needs to be attached to another square. It is already quilted during the creation of it. Go to youtube.com and put quilt as you go in the search box. That will make it much clearer than I have. Also, look for one that is hand quilting, and you will understand the difference.
