I mostly do my own version of a stitch and flip. I figure how to divide my quilt into rows or columns, prejoin my pieces into columns then stitch the columns one at a time to the batting / backing. If my columns are narrow enough that is all the "quilting" I do if they are wider or I have an idea of what I want to quilt I do additional quilting in the added new column before adding the next one. I nearly always have a pieced back but if my quilt is narrower then 60 inches or I am using fleece I keep it whole and start in the center working my way out to each side, only 30 inches at most in in the throat space of the sewing machine that way. There is no hand work ness. this way like some qayg has.

Here are a few pics of some I have done

front and back of same quilt

front and back of a solid fleece backed one

front and back

another front/back of a solid fleece backed quit

Those are just a few

There are other techniques I have figured out when this one won't work, but this is the easiest and will do most types of quilts.
