Thanks for the great instructions. I have over 20 blocks to sandwich together and than free motion quilt. Then I'll sew them together with your instructions. This friend started this quilt in a class in 1986. All hand appliqued. She got that part done and quit. All I have to do is put it together and quilt. She said in that class she took, it was supposed to be all hand quilted. Since she's glad I'm finishing it, she doesn't mind a bit if I use a sewing machine for pete's sake.!

wow! i'm so excited i almost fell out of my seat! see, i'm new to quilting. i only have done rag quilts which are very easy. currently, i fell in love with foundation piecing so that is what I'm doing now. but i was worried as to what i was going to do once my blocks were pieced. the thought of venturing into tradtional quilting was scary. but with this method...oh my word...it takes all the anxiety out of the quilting part as well as binding and all that. i'm glad the revision was made about points...as my blocks are 8 1/2 but have points in it. so i'm glad you posted something about that.

I get confused when the squares are sewed together. I know you have added the material between the squares, but what if you don't want that look.
I can't remember where, but I have seen one were the backing is laid first than the batting.With the top, the first row is(it was strip of fabric) bast on, (you roll up the botton of the backing and batting while you sew the Next row to the frist row. As you unroll you sew on the next row. I don't know about doing this with a large quilt but it looked so simple for the lap quilt being prepared. Has anyone seen this method before are tried it.

Hi Deb, I must admit, I made my very first quilt as you go while rving this winter. There was not much room in my fifth wheel to lay out my quilt so I did a quilt as you go and used the technique you are showing. My quilt turned out beautiful...such an easy technique. Thanks for sharing.
