Does anyone have the information for this?..I love the idea, of doing one block at a time, but have not figured out how to put the blocks together after doing each one.
Thanks

There are many ways. A quick google will result in dozens of different ways, but here are a couple to get you started.

I am working on a Fun and Done QAYG following the tutorial from Bayside Quilting. It is quick and easy and her tutorial is easy to follow.

I really enjoyed doing the fun and done quilt method. Fast and easy, but great results! Try it, and you will love it!

I have watched videos of the Cotton Theory method on Sewing with Nancy. I have heard the quilts are stiff.
It is harder than Fun and Done.
There is also a method that you cut the sashing strips and then add, whereaz Fun and Done uses the backing to fold to the front.
There is also a method that connects a quilt in three parts.I dont remember what it is called.

I strip quilt if I'm quilting on a regular machine. The way I do it is to put one strip of blocks, batting and backing together and quilt to within 3" of the edge. Then I lay another strip of backing down right side up. I put my quilted piece on it, right side up. Then I lay the next strip of the top on that, right side down. I make sure the edges line up, pin it and sew my 1/4" seam to attach them. I press the seam open (with the top and backing pulled down. Then I open them up, put in a strip of batting, pin it, and start quilting were I left off and only going to within 3" of the edge. I did my daughter's jar quilt like this and it turned out beautifully. You can see it on
http://www.threadsoftimefab.com click on projects and scoll down until you see the name 'alfreda hopper'. click on the pic and it will enlarge. This quilt was quilted one 'shelf' at a time, then one side, then the other, then the top row with the horses was added and quilted.
