Quilt Top Assembly - Again

Occasionally I run across a blog -

Where the blogger is blogging about -

Having finished the quilt blocks -

And the layout -

And is not looking forward to -

Sewing the blocks into long rows -

And then sewing the long rows together - ;))

Me neither -

I do NOT like sewing blocks into long rows -

Or sewing long rows together -

So I don’t - ;))

I recently left a comment on a blog -

I don't like sewing blocks into long rows and then sewing the long rows together. I prefer to sew the blocks into 4-patches or 9-patches - depending on the number of blocks in the quilt - then sewing those into bigger blocks until I only have 4 or 9 "chunks" to sew together. We sew "units" into blocks - so why not treat each block as a "unit" and just sew it into a bigger one??? - ;))

I do this all of the time -

And posted about it before -

But I forget sometimes -

That new readers -

May not have read all of my old stuff -

So check these out -

First the basic idea -
