    Thank you everyone for your thoughts... I posted the question, then went to the football game and found all your wonderful answers... I love you all!! I will try to post a pic when finished... but I'm pretty techno-challenged... techno-jinxed, too, I think.. sigh... Happy quilting!

    If it is a smaller quilt, it really doesn't matter. But working with larger quilts, it is easier to break up the rows into sections rather than trying to sew on large pieces :D:D:D

    I have not mastered an accurate seam so I do it by blocks 2x2 not by rows that way if the corners don't match I can make adjustments... My rows turn out horrible..

    I also go by rows and if it is a larger quilt I do usually do two sections so the weight is better distributed for putting it together.

I am sure you will receive a lot of suggestions. There is always more than one way to do something when it comes to quilting. Welcome to the board.
    Wow! Such a simple solution and I never thought of it. Thank you so much.
