I have done this several times. My free motion quilting has a lot to be desired and this is a wonderful way of hiding the horrible mess I can create. LOL. I am also trying a piece of trapunto right now that is being done in this manner. So much fun and adventure.

Great job - but another weird question - why not just quilt it all at same time????i[/quote]
Much harder to get it all under the machine and be able to move around to make the FMQ look nice. SOOO much easier this other way. Just have to make sure the SID is enough to "support" the front and batting and keep it from shifting.
