How do you find it time wise, compared to making a quilt the traditional way. I remember someone posting on here about it taking much longer. Is that true? Quilting individual blocks would certainly be a joy and I have thought about that. I always worried about the stability of the blocks at the joining points. That may be a baseless concern.
Timewise, I think it works out about the same. However, once you have enjoyably quilted each block, then do the joinings, it seems amazing that you are
done! Seems faster but it's probably not.
The blocks are just as stable. With the wide-join method, you insert a strip of batting in those wide sashings. To stabilize those, you need to make sure and quilt on the wide sashings once the blocks are all together. That isn't necessary with the narrow join method.
