I am in the process of building a modified french braid and have been trying to wrap my head around the concept of quilt as you go. I'm not a longarmer or a hand quilter and hate fighting a big quilt on the sewing machine. I've looked at a number of tut videos online and just seemed to get more confused. This is one link that seemed to make the most sense, at least to me:

In the video box, scroll down to the last one "Second Method.
I'm got a couple of strips pinned last night and going to give it a shot today; its been a stumbling block and hopefully this will help me hop over it! :-)
