I'm going to print this out and keep it for my next quilt (if I get to one this winter and I hope I do!). Great idea to quilt the center blocks first. I think I could actually handle that! Love the idea of pre-quilting the borders and then adding on in the quilt as you go method! You are one smart lady... wish I did live closer. I'm a visual learner also.. need to SEE it done.. .written instructions sometimes are greek to me! That's so funny about the energizer bunny! Had to laugh..... hugs...

Those commercials with that rabbit are the most annoying things I have ever had to sit through. I will not even buy their batteries because I don't want to support that darn bunny, LOL. <br />With this quilt my squares in the center are 10 inch squares. I joined 4 squares one way and 5 squares for the length. Then sandwiched them together with batting and backing and quilted that section on my machine first. That way when I added the boarder to the quilt the center was already done. That prevents having to much fabric under your machine to work with. Then I added boarder to the sides first. I took my fabric and laid it right-side down on the quilt top and the same on the back side and joined them to the already finished center. Next I folded them out and sandwiched batting between them and quilted each side. After that I did the same to the top and bottom boarders. <br />I hope that I explained it where you could understand. I know that I am a hands on visual learner. If you lived closer I would have you over and show you my steps. This makes it easier and keeps you from having too much fabric under your machine. It still gets to be a bit much, but nothing like doing the entire quilt at once. Better yet and easier is to make the boarders separately quilting them before joining them to the center in the "Quilt as you go" method. I do this a lot too. <br />i hope this helps.<br />Happy quilting, sweet friend !!!
