So what is "Quilting-on-the-Go" by Carolyn Forster - it is piecing a block on one outing, quilting it on the next. Never again leave your quilting languishing at home, it can now go with you. The quilts have been created in small portable pieces and it means that tacking/basting is a small and manageable task. Quilts that you start will now become quilts that actually get finished before you start the next one.
