Sheila,
I JUST started my first quilt this way. I thought it would be easier in my little space, to do it. I sure hope it goes okay. I have never done it before. I picked a small quilt:bassinet size. I would love to keep up on how you are making out with it. Maybe it would give me some encouragement to know I am headed in the right direction.:D
hugs

Shelia, What you are talking about is kind of like lap quilting, where you quilt each block and then sew them all together together! It's a lot easier to manage especially if you have a small space! Happy quilting!!

So I just made my second quilt, the last was just made into a duvet(double bed) and it was nearly impossible to work with in my large house with small rooms. I want to make another quilt and like the idea that I could quilt the squares one at a time. So I am guessing the only way you can put these blocks together is with another strip of fabric between each block?....and please everyone I would love to see pics of your work. Gives an isolated farmgirl ideas..

There's a woman who puts out books on this. It's called Lapquilting With Georgia Bonesteel. You can find them on Amazon.com
makes it look quite easy. Haven't had the chance to try it myself yet.

I made 2 quilts that way years ago and the people I made them for--I saw for the first time in 10 years made a point of telling me they still had the quilts and loved them. It is a very forgiving way of quilting and I enjoyed it. I will probably do one that way again when i get back into quilting! :)
