Has anyone heard of the quilt as you go frame and quilt? I done several pieces several years ago. You do it on a rectangular frame. Now i can't figure out how to piece them together. I have made several quilts but this one has me really at (threads) end. Would really appr. any input. Susan

I just typed in "quilt as you go" for a Yahoo search and an entire page of sites popped up. I'm sure they can explain it all a lot better than I can. There are so many patterns now and so many ways you can finish. Never heard of using a frame for it. Another gadget you probably won't need.

I think the QAYG method for hand quilting is by Georgia Bonesteel, from her book "Lap Quilting". You stop quilting about 2" from the edges of the sections. Then you do your 1/4" to join the tops of the sections together. Butt the edges of the batting together and cut it if necessary so that it lays flat. Take one side of the backing and lay it flat, take the other side of the backing and turn a 1/4" under and slip stitch in place. Then you have to go back and hand quilt over this seamed area. Clear as mud, huh? Might be easier to get one of Georgia's books from the Library!
