I use a similar method.I discovered it many years ago from a book by Georgia Bonesteele, Lap Quilting. She has several books out on this method of lap quilting/quilt as you go. Works great - no big frame to set up, or having to send it off to a long arm quilter.

Deb,
Thanks for this tutorial. Well done. I have a dumb question about binding it.
Wouldn't you bind the outer edges the same way you did the sashings between the blocks? The way I see it, there will be a 1" border of backing around the entire quilt once all the rows are assembled that can be folded over and top stitched around.
I hope this makes sense.

Janie...........you make perfect sense. Yes, you will have that extra inch hanging out all around the quilt. Just take it and fold it over the edge to the top and stitch. This technique does look nice all turned and topstitched. And, yes, you can use some of the decorative stitches on your machine, but the topstitching is the neatest (I think).

It's not often anyone tells me I make sense, let alone "perfect" sense, so you made my day! :mrgreen:

Deb, thank you for the tutorial. I have been hesitant to try actual quilting - I've only done a couple small projects but this looks like something I could handle. Your directions and photos really helped me to "see" the process. I can't wait to see more pictures when you are done with the project.
