Quilt as-you-go: for dazzling, contemporary results, piece and quilt at the same time with a variety of fabrics
Article Abstract:
The quilt-as-you-go method is an interesting way to design and make a quilt. Unlike the traditional approach, the quilt-as-you-go method requires that the fabric strips be sewn together directly on the batting and backing layers. These layers support the individual quilt blocks and allows for easily combining fabrics of different weights and textures.
