I want to try to try the Quilt as you go method for my quilt top. So far I have the blocks pieced into rows. I saw one video where each row is a quilt sandwich and then quilted. Next the rows are joined together without sashing. The link was candiedfabrics.com .
What I don't understand is how to add the borders, now that your quilt top is quilted. Please advise me as to how you have done this or have seen this done in a link.
Many thanks for your help as always.

Here it is. It really didn't cause me any problems. Can also use with other type quilts, not on QAYG
turns out it wasn't a video!

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but Just read the method Stitchnripper mentioned and it looks like something I might try on a "problem quilt." I made one for our bed and love it. Since our 4-legged girl joins us in bed, I needed to wash it. Yup, it shrunk so now unless I am really careful, it doesn't cover the sheets. I need about 3 more inches on each side. Do you think this will work.
