I just looked at the link above. If you actually quilt in the sashing, it would help secure the stitching and keep the seams from coming apart.

I took a class for Fun and Done several years ago. It's easy but time consuming. No matter what anyone says, the template ruler makes the method much easier. Ask the my class members that didn't buy the template, they kept borrowing mine and quit using their it will do the same job rulers. It's a great help when cutting the batting away.

Gosh, I am saddened that some of you had such trouble with the Fun and Done. My experience was very positive and I will be making more. I do think the method can be adapted to regular quilting of blocks, and leave enough for seam allowances for joining.

I have made several quilts with this method. Last year made 4 Christmas throws and they turned out great. I was going to make 3 more this year but lost my enthusiasm Maybe next year my sisters will get theirs.
For me the trick was trimming and then pinning each block carefully. It was nice when everything went together nicely.

Rose Marie, I want to thank you, too, for giving us the tip about small stitches. Your quilt is beautiful. I am in the process of making a king sized, which I am making in two parts. It is on point and will be put together on the diagonal. I have a little more than half of it finished. It all takes time, though, it is relaxing for me.

I could see that it could be a problem to line up your blocks. I also agree I think it could pull apart with you just sewing the backing fabric together. I wonder if you could aleviate that issue by quilting the sashings, making sure to run your stitching over that seam. ??

I did a lap quilt using the Fun and Done. It's an interesting technique. But when you are done, you are done. Try it. I love trying new techniques.
