I did this quilt and I could never understand the pre-quilting of each block when so much of the quilt still needed to be quilted along with the backing. It turned out great though and I'm glad I finished it and have gotten great compliments for it but I would never do the pre-quilting again unless it was quilt as you go for each block.

I plan on just appliquéing each block and picking out a few tehniques vs trying to endure all of that "quilting". I will have my longarmer just do the quilting once the top is pieced. Has anyone gone this route?
