At the Ardingly Show last weekend, the 2nd Feb 2007, there was a section devoted to the quilts of Carolyn Forster. This lady has written a really easy to follow book called "Quilting on the Go". It is a very detailed explanation of the quilting block by block method where you have done most of the quilting before you assemble the blocks into a quilt.

Usually when you see quilts made this way it is obvious what has been done, and the seams are pretty prominent on the back. With these I had to look hard to see that it was actually made and quilted block-by-block. Very skilfully done!

There are suggestions for how to take these blocks with you to quilt on the train, or in a waiting room. What a very good idea! I do enjoy frame quilting, but I can see a place for this in my repertoire too.
