    There is another alternative to 'QAYG. Today, I found a Marti Mitchell book, 'Machine Quilting in Sections' that was originally published in 2004. I think it has been republished, because it was at my local JoAnn's which hasn't been open that long! Anyway, Marti shows a BUNCH of ways to tackle machine quilting big quilts. She shows various ingenious ways of NOT joining all the blocks together until the quilting is finished. Many of them have the borders added and quilted AFTER the rest of the quilt is finished.

    Hi ,
    I'm working on a quilt as you go now. I got the instructions from bayside quilting. The fun and done tutorial. I did my first row on a sudoku quilt. So far it is coming out good. I will try to send a picture. Thanks for all in info on it. I have been wanting to try this for a long time. Joyce Ann

    I have been using the Georgia Bonstell method for years. I just finished up the Yellow Brick Road king size quilt. What I do it join the rows as if I were making a regular quilt, but in three to four row sections at a time. , (which ever you perfer). I also found it easier to attach the border as I go. You can either hand or machine quilt

    I recently bought a book called Machine Quilting in Sections by Marti Michell. It seems that the concept is pretty easy but I haven't had time to complete a quilt by this method.

    I have done a small quilt in sections by piecing squares and sewing them together in a column, adding the batting and backing together, then basting the raw edges of the column together. I attached another column with the right side of the quilt pattern next to the right side of the piece I just quilted. The backing and batting are pinned next to the backing of the quilted strip Then sewed together in 1/4 inch seam. When it is all sewn together, I ironed the new column AWAY from the previously quilted part, sewed the raw edges together 1/4 inch from the edge and added another column. When it is done, it is quilted. Then you add any borders you want and the binding.

    Hope this helps.

    My log cabin (above) was made this way - it's a really quick quilt to make!

    I love the fun and done method. I have made a couple of sudoku quilts for my granddaughters. I thought I'd try one with the quilt as you go method. It's turning out really good. If you google sudoku quilts you can come up with how they are made. Very easy
