Yes it is a Fun and Done. It is diagonal strips. It is stiffer than a regular quilt. I use 80/20 batting.

LvenderBlue ~ Thanks for that link. That's the way I plan to quilt one I'm currently piecing and it's good to see a tutorial. I might prefer to cut the backing strips a bit wider so that the backing seam doesn't add more fabric to each seam, if that makes sense. ??

Yarn or Fabric

I table baste so I'm not crawling around on the floor to baste - that and I don't want to stick pins in to my nice wood floors. I have two folding banquet tables that I can set up side by side for long quilts or just one for skinner quilts and get it done so much faster.
I do plan to do a video tutorial on how I table baste my quilts. I'm sure if you google table basting you'll come up with other people's way of doing it

Oh, I can't wait to see your video. I gave up floor basting a long time ago. What's that song? ...the old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be...

I recommend Marti Michell's book, Machine Quilting in Sections. If you quilt in sections you also layer in sections, so no need to lay the whole quilt out at once and you can stay off the floor.

Never done that myself, although it is on my list of things to do. QAYG. My dh friend does a lot like that.

Thank-you everyone. So now my brain is saying that only the first row is sandwiched and quilted then trim the batting a 1/4 inch from the edge of the blocks on the side you are adding the second row - right side blocks to right side of quilted blocks and right side of backing to right side of the first row back and stitch the second row (no batting ) now fold over the front and back second row- iron - and insert the batting making sure it buts up to the newly sewn seam . . Do I have this method correct in my brain? Of I need to finish my second cup of coffee!

Fun and Done uses a square of fabric for the backing cut larger than the batting and block.
Strips are sewn on top of the batting and backing to form the top. Then the backing is sewn togather with another block then folded over the block and sewn down.

That's what I think is described in http://www.candiedfabrics.com/2013/0...ing-as-you-go/
I'm anxious to see how it works for you!!

Last year I posted this tutorial about Quilt As You Go. This is the only method I use now unless the quilt is overly large. Then I have it quilted on a long arm. I'm a piecer, not a quilter so the Flip N Sew works great for the comfort quilts I make.
