Thankyou for all the replies. I'm quite surprised and intrigued - till I looked at my finished quilt this afternoon, decided I hadn't done enough quilting on it and asked myself this question, it had never occurred to me that a quilt could be made in any order other than all the quilting followed by binding. I couldn't see any obvious reason why more quilting couldn't be added, and it's great to have had that confirmed here and in other discussions.
