I am in the process of making a quilt out of scraps, sewing them into 9" squares then trimming to 8-1/2, sewing those together. I have a 16 " which I then sandwich and quilt. I have two squares left to quilt then I will sew the squares together on the machine. I thought I would like this small area to quilt better since I hand quilt but now that it is time to sew these squares together I don't know if I am going to like it. There is more cutting involved. I like the smallness of the squares to quilt. I will try to post pictures when I get through. I've run out of quilting thread and I haven't been able to get out and get the same kind. I think I am going to like just making quilts somewhere between 48" square and 60" square. Those aren't too big to hand quilt.

My friend I think calls this compartment quilting. I join in blocks which I do my way. Sometimes I have a sashing strip other times just join the blocks and hand stitch batting and backing together.
The white and blue is sashing joining with spray 505 glue only. These are just 4 blocks of 32.
The double wedding ring joined 9 rings then sandwiched as you see here then just joined the seams as I would a top of a quilt . Flattened seam cut and joined batting and finally lay backing flat and turned the seam and hand stitched down before quilting over the area.

I just finished sewing a full seven days with this method and personally I think it is a very precise elegant looking quilt when it is finished. Start with a few scraps of muslin and practice before you start your quilt so have the gist of the seams and folds. I love how soft the quilts get after more and more use and the quilting is amazingly rich looking when you are done. I don't think I would try doing another conventional quilt after using this method. the more I did the quicker things went - when you're new it at be patient with the process and with yourself. Write me if you like if you have more questions.
