    I have been using the Quilt as you Go method for many years. I quilt–either hand or machine–the block to withing i/4 inch of the edge. Using your method I sew the blocks together, right sides facing, and then on the back hand stitch the seam down. You can't even see where the blocks are joined when the quilt is finished.

    I am definitely interested in this method!! I like the idea of quilting on smaller pieces.

    I love the jacket and simply amazed by your Winter Wonderland quilt! I would really, really like to try the quilt-as-you go method with those curvy bias lines going on. Just like that special touch.

    Cool! I just posted a quilt that I made a year ago. I "learned" it from your blog, and a few others. Thanks! My first few posts in Feb show more detail, and Jan has each block described. LOVE that snowflake quilt, and the jacket is amazing!

    Leah, you are an inspiration! Now I want to try this technique on a jacket of my own… (deep breath, yes I can do this… breathe out…) lol. Thank you for sharing this Leah!

    Thanks for sharing this a great information, Leah! I've done two quilt as you go quilts so far and I'm now a huge fan! I've got two more in the works too because it's such a great way to do FMQ for a large quilt on a more manageable scale.

    Hi Leah….I totally agree with Anne…the jacket is gorgeous and it doesn't look bulky at all. It appears to have such a nice drape. I'm in awe of the beautiful snowflake quilt….belated congratulations on the AQS win, btw!

    Has anyone ever tried using a 'french seam'? You sew your pieces with WRONG sides together first, clip the seam allowance, then re-sew with RIGHT sides together (along the same seam). I have used it for making clothes with sheer or very delicate fabric. The seam allowance gets encased. I am going to give it a whirl on a small quilt to see if it would work.
