Quilt AsYou Go

When I called my friend Kathy last night to give her the info on the the long arm she invited me over to see her latest quilt. She is much faster at making quilts than I am.

I was telling her my delima about a quilt for DS1. she said I should do a quilt as you go. I came home and looked it up on line. You do each block separately. You quilt the top piece, whatever it is to the batting, attach the blocks together and then sew them to the back. Add your binding, and you are done. Very doable! 
 
I think that is what I an going to do. Looked on Pintrest for ideas. DS1 said he wanted basically the same thing. The green and burgundy. I think The blocks are in good shape, they just came apart. I may take it completely apart and use them in the new one. I'd like to find some coordinating prints to help update it at the same time.

The more I think about it, this may be my new technique. Since you are quilting each individual block you can be as detailed as you want.
