Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I love how you did the back in all different fabrics! It's like two quilts in one.So bizarre, my pictures seem to keep disappearing:
Here they are again:
It's a fabulous method to use when making group quilts.
The quilting is already done when the blocks are handed in.
And, in the case above and below, I requested B&W backings on the block as I knew they were a staple/favorite in all the participants' stashes.
Made my life a LOT easier.
Here's another QAYG one we did as a group (link to earlier post - ignore the verbiage and scroll down)
This time though I decided not to do a grid pattern - B&W on the back of the blocks again!
How many different QAYG methods are there?
Have you noticed this thread? Orphaned Blocks QAYG Challenge They are walking through QAYG techniques. Lots to learn there.

For me the other method for making blocks works best. It is where you cut the backing larger than the batting and top so you fold the backing to the front to connect. Easier than attaching the sashing later. Never made a border so cant answer that.
yes, please join us as the QAYG challenge group. We're having a great time and learning so much. Jenniky is a great instructor. I've been doing this method for several years now and have learned so much from her on different techniques.

I made a quilt using the book "Quilting On The Go" by Caroyln Forster, which uses a method of pieced frames around the blocks that merge each block together. It's a beautiful book and I liked it so much I wrote a review there (Jill K)

there are several techniques to accomplishing the end goal of borders on qayg...i personally design my quilts to include borders into my blocks before putting my rows together with sashing strips. i always use a slightly larger backing block and batting block when quilting then trim down/square up before doing sashings. if you plan out your design and patterns on graph paper before making first cut of fabric and first stitch then you will know exactly where the blocks with borders go and also have a quick reference guide when finally putting it all together.
