    This method is also shown in all of the Fun & Done patterns. Great technique. And no affiliation, just teach the technique at our local quilt shop.

    I can't wait to try this. I'm too old to invest in a long-arm and don't really have the room. It is more rewarding for me to complete my whole quilt, even though it is a struggle to squeeze it under the machine sometimes. This sounds like a fun alternative, even though it's not used for every quilt.

    Seems like a neat way to finish a quilt. It is always nice to have options. I am curios though if you could do a blind hem stitch or blanket stitch to stitch down those 1" flaps? Also, for Franie...what about this method make a "flat" quilt?

    I just do a straight top stitch, but it may look really cool with a decorative stitch!
    I do want to emphasize that in order for your blocks to lay flat, it is really important that you sew your blocks together as so very close to the edge. This will also make sure that your 'sashings' are the same width. I will post more pics of this if wanted.

    Try 'Fun and Done Quilting'. It's an easy way to do quilt as you go, and looks fabulous.
