I use the fusible interfacing to bond the two pieces of batting back together before I quilt each section. I don't really consider it a QAYG project. The whole quilt top and backing is the finished size - the only thing I do different is cut the batting into 3rds. I quilt first the middle, attach the batting back on one side via about 1" to 1 1/2" of fusible interfacing, quilt that section, then do the same with the other side. You could also whip stitch the interfacing back together by hand, I have done this also. They actually have pre-made strips to fuse the batting together, but I just cut the interfacing myself - much cheaper. (Clear as mud!)

Well, looking at everyone's bright & cheery fabric picks I decided I'd make mine that way too...so scrapped the first choice of the pastels (will save for another quilt) & this is my final pick. Look ok? The green is actually brighter in person.

Evie,
Weren't you with us for some of the Farmer's Wife quilts we were doing? Laurie Hird has another book coming out next year - The Farmer's Wife 1930's Book. Here is a link to her blog. We will be starting a new thread for the quilt in this book next year when the book becomes available. If anyone is interested, here is a link to her blog. Her quilts are sampler type quilts - good way to use up all your small stash pieces.

I loved doing the FW blocks. I did not do the Pony Club but look forward to seeing what her next project will be. Thanks for the heads up.
