Me too! Secure the blocks and then you are only working in a small area at a time. :D

I'm with Lorchen here stitch in the ditch around all of the blocks and then quilt where ever you would like.

I guess there are as many answer to this as there are quilters. I would secure the layers eventually with water soluble thread if you don't want the stitching to stay. After that you can quilt where you want.

There is a class called Quilting Big Projects on a Small Machine, which I can recommend.

would you be kind to inform:
i have a big quilt top to quilt.
i want to quilt small areas all over the top.
my question is:
do i need to stitch the border of the area first and
then to quilt in side it, or to quilt inside it and then to quilt the borders of those areas.
i hope it is clear.
