I have been looking for a way to do exactly this method! Like you, I've been watching every QAYG video ... read every tutorial, and it just wasn't quite what I wanted. You have saved the day! Now I can finally get past the little bit that I started, on my granddaughter's quilt.
This is only the second quilt that I am attempting. My first one was a baby quilt, I was so intimidated that by the time I finished it, it was too small for the child. So she uses it for her dolls now ... lol ...
Thank you so much, you have no idea how happy you've made me!
