CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION TO QUILT AS YOU GO
Are you hesitant to machine quilt your quilt tops? I am aware that many quilters like piecing quilt tops but are hesitant to machine quilt them alone.
If you are a novice or even an accomplished quilter who finds machine quilting challenging, I am pleased to share with you a method that simplifies the process and allows you to sew LARGE quilts with ease.

CHAPTER TWO: Quilt As You Go Instructions

After quilting, all quilted blocks must be trimmed to the same size. It is preferable to first measure the block that seems to be the smallest and then
