Quilt as you go question
#1
I have seen a lot of directions on techniques that you can use for quilt as you go with a sash between the blocks, but is there a way to do it without a sash between the blocks? And if anyone may know of a place I can find patterns to try the quilt as you go without a sash that would be helpful also.. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

Here is one

There is also the kind where the back is bigger then the front, you sew the backs together and fold that down on the front, but I can't find a tute on it quickly

I have had a lot of interest in the topic because I assemble on a small throat machine. I searched "Fun and Done". This one doesn't look like it has sashing. It is beautiful too. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-17329-1.htm
There were more post but I stopped with this one. Good luck.

This is the easiest method I've found. You cut block top, batting, and backing the same size. Using a walking foot works best. Neat! http://www.quilterscache.com/H/howto...tatime.htmlcki

A friend showed this method to me recently at the SewFree Retreat in Toccoa, GA. She had played around with it and said that whatever your seam width is when sewing along the raw edge of the fabric with your walking foot---is the basis for making everything work out easily. If you multiply that width times 4 that will give you the width of your bottom sashing strip. The seam width times 6 will give you the width you need to cut for your top sashing strip (then it will be folded lengthwise).
For instance, her walking foot gave her a half inch seam allowance. Hence, her backing sashing strips would be cut 4 x .5 (2" strips)
The top sashing strips would be cut 6 x .5 (3" strips which would be 1.5" when folded and pressed.) Hope this isn't too confusing. I tried it and it makes everything very easy.
