QAYG outcome
I've heard that some people are not happy with the way their qayg projects turn out. Would those of you who have one finished and don't mind putting it on here, post pictures for me. Also, if you did like qayg which method did you use?
Thanks!

My quilt class a couple years ago did a sampler quilt. They used a qayg method. I sewed the squares into rows and cut the batting just a bit bigger and then quilted each row to the batting. Then attached each row and batting by whip stitching until the top and batting was put together. Then we pinned the backing on and then stitched in the ditch to secure backing. (I'm sure that's as clear as mud, right? )
When I get brave enough I want to do some fmq fillers in each square.

I did one last Christmas. It was 3 sections that I attached after the quilting was mostly done on each piece. The way it looked was fine, but I didn't like whipstitching the back seams together. The pieces were a bit unwieldly.

The is a book that is really terffic Crazy short cut quilts by Marquerita McManus . I have used that and really like / No whip stitches. Also The Cotton Theory by Betty Cotton. Marquerita has a lot of videos on you tube that are great. Cotton has great book. I am not set up with a machine that I can quilt unless it is QAYG.. So these are my two best suggestions. I know there are many others but these two ladies really helped me connect better with it and no whipping stitches , which I hate. (but ...) anyhow I just thought I'd throw that in. It gets better each time.

I haven't heard people being disappointed in QAYG outcome. Depending on the technique, I've heard some folks not liking the extra hand work, or possibly not wanting to use sashing in their design, but there are lots of different methods. Before I got my LA, I did all my larger quilts & throws QAYG. The first one is the Lap Quilting method by Georgia Bonesteel, where you whip stitch the backing together as you go:

These were made using the sashing method:

Get the book: Machine quilting in sections, by Marti Michel. I think she has the most variety of techniques:

I've made over 350 quilts, with the exception of about 60, all were quilt as you go. no one knows unless they turn it over and see the small hidden seams on the back. it's the only way i'll do it. don't have a LA. come out great
