QAYG for GFG ???
Has anyone done QAYG on a GFG quilt?
If you have I'd like to know how you did it.
I'm currently started on a GFG and since I intend to make it queen sized and don't want to attempt quilting something that large any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know about QAYG but a bee friend made a GFG using her machine and a tiny zig zag stitch to attach the pieces together. I guess it could be done on top of batting and backing. I'll be curious to see what others chime in about QAYG.

It took me a while to figure out what GFG meant, but take a look at this. If you highlight, choose print, then selection, it prints out to two sheets of paper. http://www.lequilts.blogspot.com/201...lt-as-you.html
Just this week I came across Glenn's posts regarding Civil War Potholder Quilts. It is in the section on making quilts with vintage machines. I knew he had made a comfort quilt for Rodney using finished blocks from friends and admirers of Rodney. I kept wondering how he put it together. Google is my friend, and being an information junkie, I looked into Potholder quilts, finding a blog that suggested they be put together by butting edges and stitching with a feather stitch or something similar.

I've done QAYG with square blocks or strips of squares, but not sure I want to do double the quantity of 1" hexes! Guess I could put a section of it together and then do it like a series of table runners connected to each other.

here is a tut by our member Eddie he calls hickory nuts... a QAYG for hexies... not exactly GFG though, although the back of the hickory nuts would be border free for GFG

Hi everyone...I'm still pondering doing one of these quilts where you quilt-as-you go. I have lots of leftover batting and would really like to try using it on this type of quilt. Has anyone successfully made one of these into a quilt? I'm thinking lap size. I'm wondering how it lays with if you zig-zag the hexies together. Or, if you've made one, do you hand-sew the hexies together? I'm thinking of making these as donation quilts, but if I have to hand-sew, it might take me quite a bit longer to finish one. I would not mind, but just want to know if anyone has completed a quilt and how it lays, how sturdy it seems, etc. Any comments, suggestions or pictures would be appreciated. I really want to try it......just need a gentle nudge from someone who has done it!
Thanks!
Thanks!
