There are many ways to do quilt-as-you-go (QAYG).
Many of the techniques use sashing to join the blocks.

Sewn Up 
Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing with us 🙂

Thanks for this quick way to quilt. However, it may be confusing to some (me) because you say to ‘stitch in the ditch’ after layering with the back, but you do not show stitching in the ditch, instead you show stitching 1/4″ away from ditch – on each side of seam line. I was taught that stitching in the ditch means stitching in the seam line. ???

I’ve always preferred narrow sashing, and I use a similar version as the one you’ve shown, but I stitch the back flap down by machine; if you pin on the front carefully and stitch in the ditch, you can catch only the very edge of the flap on the back and it’s pretty neat. Plus it’s a whole lot quicker than hand stitching!

Your method looks a bit like the one with wide sashing I do. It’s all machine stitched too. I want to try another qayg without sashing and finished by hand at the back.

Tammy, I thought sewing at 1/4 was still close enough to quality as stitch in the ditch. To me stitch in the ditch is to sew as close as you can to the seam.
