I have used Georgia's technique but found that the QAYG method I like the best was where you break the quilt into
3 panels - you make the middle panel complete with backing and batting, quilt as desired, then take one of the outer panels, sew the front and back to the middle panel WITHOUT the batting, then butt the outer batting panel to the middle batting, whip stitch it together and simply fold over your front and back, then quilt. This allows you to quilt on a machine with a small harp, it eliminates handsewing, and it does not require sashing which some other methods need. The only drawback is that your back will be seamed. I found it easier than Georgia's technique.
