Hi Gayle,
My name is Shelia and I am new to this site and also fairly new to quilting. Most of the quilting I have done is either done randomly or from simple patterns from books, and with bits and pieces of leftover material from other projects. There is so much to learn and I have so many questions. Could you tell us how you do the "quilt as you go". Sounds like something I could use, as I mostly tie my quilts together. Have tried machine quilting, but not very successfully. Any new improvements in my work will be welcfomed. Thanks in advance! And wrlcome from New England!

Hi Sheila. I found a quilt book by Marti Michell (Weekend Log Cabin Quilts for people who don't have time to quilt). Was available at American School of Needlework for less than $10. The block is quilted as you sew the logs together; top, batting & back. Once you have completed the required number of blocks and squared them up, arrange them the way you want and stitch them together. There are 2 methods of finishing the back; I use a strip of fabric, sewn in when the blocks are sewn together, to cover the raw seam on the back. Add your borders and binding - done.
