I have made several QAYG and will be making a lot more. I will be using lots of scraps and scrap W&W for donation quilts.
This is like I do mine.

I will definitely try the QAYG method that Candied Quilts demonstrates. That one is without sashing. I have Marti Michells book & have tried some of them which are good too.

Many times, using many different techniques, different styles of quilts. It's a great way to get a quilt all finished in small increments.

I like the looks of this one.

I believe that Dunster provided a tutorial on this process some time ago, pretty sure if you do a search for it on the board it will come up. Good luck with your project.

The method I used was quite straightforward. I quilted each block and attached it with sashing front and back.

I'm wanting to try doing it in larger sections as well.

Quilt as you go

I love QAYG for large quilts such as king or queen. The main thing to remember while you are quilting is to leave enough space on the outer edges of your squares so you will have enough seam allowance to join the squares. I don't use sashes. I sew the fronts together and then I hand finish the backing.

Think out of the block. I have quilted as I go many times and have never been disappointed in do so. Some of my prettiest designs have come from them. Sashing is no problem; don't do as you make the blocks, but after all blocks are finished. This way you'll be able to see the "picture" more clearly. If you have to fill in any places before sashing best to do it this way - that's my suggestion. Like I said in the beginning, "Think out of the block" - be your own quilter, not copying someone else's design. Enjoy. God gave you the talent to quilt - use it. In fact, the Holy Spirit has designed the quilts I make. He is more talented than us all put together. God bless, and may this Christmas be filled with the Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
