I have seen this quilting technique called quilting as you go, over at Sew Take a Hike. It's been on my long list of things to do. I figured what better time than during summer vacation. Having the boys under foot isn't conducive during my quilting time, but doing quilting as you go makes it a whole lot easier to just stop and go.
First I cut 12 inch squares from batting (actually they are slightly larger and then after I sew on my fabric I cut the batting down to an exact 12 inch square.) Then I just randomly grab whatever fabric I feel like and sew away.
I am a little nervous to join the blocks together, but the tutorial on Sew Take a Hike is pretty straightforward, so I figure it can't be that hard.Famous last words right ?
