I am doing the Row BY Row patterns which make a 9" by 36" strip then you put them together for your quilt. I plan to use shashing between the rows.several strips I need to free motion or quilt the background before adding the other pieces. Has anyone done QAYG on their strips? If so how did you go about it? Or should I just make my strips, sandwich the whole thing and quilt it then add rest of pattern after that. Example 1 pattern is a clothes line with seperate small blocks tacked that are hung on the clothes line, not sewn into the background. Any suggestions appreciated.

I've never done this but have thought about it. I don't see why you couldn't.

I just posted my Row By Row quilt using QAYG in the hoop.

I made a small strip quilt - I started with the backing the size I wanted the finished quilt to be. Put a piece of backing on top of it. First two strips I put right sides together and sewed them to the batting down the right side. Then I flipped the top one over and laid another strip right sides together and stitched. Repeated til done. I could have done some FMQ on the strips before I sewed the next strip on, or sewed the next strip on and FMQ the previous one but for that purpose it wasn't necessary. Don't know how I would approach sashing. Maybe the same way by laying it face down on the previous strip and stitching and flipping. Let us k ow what you decide and how it turns out.
