Eleanor Burns was the woman who brought modern assembly line methods to the quilting world. Her early methods made quilting so much easier, that she is considered the "Mother of Modern Quilting". Before Eleanor, there was cereal boxes, scissors, and needles, and not much else. She is also the one who helped change the attitude that "all quilts must be hand made to be called a quilt, no machines allowed". When I started quilting, I remember the quilt police were very active about how you made your quilt. Machine quilted or assembled quilts were not welcome in early quilt shows.

OK, I know this is probably a dumb question but I've googled and googled and not found out...
what is the Quilt In a Day method?
I live in the UK so I've not really come across Quilt In A Day before and to boot I'm a quilting newbie!
Can someone enlighten me pls? Is it a different technique not found elsewhere? Is it the same as Quilt-As-You-Go?
thank you in advance!

Hi have you seen the shopping channel, Create and Craft,?, on a Sunday morning 8 till 9 am they have a quilting classroom and although it's to sell quilting items the class room is brilliant and you can catch up with those that have been on months ago, i also record any sewing that's on there, well worth a look, it's Sky and Freeview, have a look, i've learnt loads,
