QAYG is a blanket term for many different techniques, some require hand stitching, some don't. Some require sashing some don't. This book covers lots of ways to accomplish this task. Your library or guild may have a copy.
This is exactly what I was going to recommend until PaperPrincess beat me to it. Before I got my longarm I quilted many big quilts in sections, using several of the methods in this book. Marti Michell now has a Craftsy class on this subject too, and it may go over the same things in the book.
