Thread: Quilt as you go - herringbone quilt

Has anyone seen this quilt? It is the herringbone quilt by Maureen Cracknell.I just came across this quilt and method and want to give it a try. I really liked the collection of bright colors she used. Let me know what you think.

Looks very nice and fun to make but personally I would avoid this type of quilting
simply because of the thick seams. I know it would bother me lots. Different strokes...

Thank you for the link! As a newbie, I am trying to master new techniques each quilt I make, and after wrestling a queen size through my small harp domestic machine, I think a QAYG must be next on the list, and this one looks beautiful!

The QAYG quilt that I have "on the go" incorporates the backing at the same time...got the tutorial from here somewhere..easy peasy, not bulky and fun.

I like the way gourmet quilter does the QAYG

Really like this, thanks for the link. Instead of doing it as a QAYG tho, I might try it just using muslin strips as a base, then sewing the strips together. Anyway, I've added it to my bucket list

Thick seams are harder to work whether you're doing them by hand or machine. The last quilt I made I just went battless. Cantankerous of me I guess, but it made it more affordable and to me it's just as pretty. I might try attaching the strips directly onto the backing using this QAYG method.

Thanks for the link to that website. I check it out and also took the time to look at some of her other tutorials. I saved her site on my Favorites. It looks like a fun quilt to make. Oh boy, another one for my bucket list
