I had heard of quilt as you go, using a serger, but I hadn't seen it done this way.  This book goes into great detail on how to make quilts...as you go.  I love how she showed how to make the illusions of curved piecing.    

There have been many times that we, as quilters, and homemakers, friends, and sisters, have wanted to make a quilt in a hurry,  to show the deep love, concern, and caring we have for someone.  I know there are times I have mourned a little because I didn't have the time to make something special for a loved one.

Now, with this method, I could whip something up, quite honestly, in a day.  I love that.  I love that the hardest part for me, the quilting, is done at the same time as my favorite part, the piecing.  You should definitely pick up this book, enjoy it, and then be able to quilt quickly when you have a need. Check out Martingale to buy the book.
