A New (to me) Quilt As You Go Technique

Here’s the lap quilt / wall hanging I made using the new (to me) quilt as you go technique I discovered via Pinterest.  I followed these instructions by Penny at SewTakeAHike blog.  Penny, I think you’ve changed my quilting life!

I talk all about it on Podcast Episode 53.  I love all the detailed quilting you can do with this technique. 

Even remembered to use some fun vintage-looking fabric on the back. 

Has anyone else tried this technique?  Please let me know in the comments how it’s worked for you.
