I've made 3 quilts using Ditter's instructions.......Getting ready to make another one.... So much faster....
Thanks!! Ditter 43...........

I;'ve made more than one quilt using that method. I agree that the largest one is heavy, but I thought that it was because of my choice of block. I used a crumb block, which has the extra weight of the foundation.

ok, for scrappy baby quilts I think. I have done several of these but wouldn't be fond of anything bigger.

Did a fun and done - got tired of burning fingers trying to press fabric on top, said to heck with it and finished quilt by ignoring instructions and doing sashing strips on front and back. It is heavy, I can't brush the cat hair off, and it fights with the electric blanket. I changed mattresses, and it's now too long.
It's sitting in a closet, unused.

Now I just do the backing larger, trim the batting and front to the right size, and make the backing 1/4" larger. Sew backing, then add strips to the front. I refuse to hand sew.

I took a class at quilt festival where the technique was sashiko by machine. She had us do it block by block, and it could be joined together and made into a quilt.
