I actually created a tutorial for this but not sure how to post this here. If you send me your email address thru PM, I'll send you a copy.

I normally sell these for $8 but willing a share a few.

There are several videos on Youtube. Get on youtube and search "Quilt as you go".

I love QAYG. I have made several quilts with this method.
This quilt is a Quilt of Valor quilt I did with QAYG

I'm trying to attach the tutorial for those who want to download it but it doesn't seem to work or I don't know what I'm doing. I'll keep sending out to PM until this can get posted.

This is also called lap quilting. Georgia Bonesteel has a book on lap quilting or you can google "how to lap quilt" and get some good instructions. I've started a quilt top using this method and I like it. We live full time in an RV so space is limited for a frame of any size. I tried it on scraps until the got the hang of attaching the squares. It's not difficult!

i did a crazy 9 patch sorta that way..

i first made the block. then cut the batting the same size. the backing need to be 2 inches bigger than the block.

i stitched in the ditch after i sandwiched each block..making sure the top was centered. did all the blocks,then joined them together..i did a few like this..

I'm working on a QAYG now. The hardest part for me is the final "sew it together". It seems so hard to hold things together and sew neatly by hand.

[quote]what watterside is showing is different from the methods shown in Kimberly's tutorial.[/quote}

it is the "fun and done" method/pattern. my LQS has lots of different patterns. it calls for the "batting buddy" template, but you really just need to go 2" larger on the back.
