Hi Jenniky,
Enjoyed reading all your great tutorials on QAYG. I've been working on my first quilting in sections using the last method you did. I started this around same time you were starting your first tutorial and I'm still not done. LOL. Well the top is done but I still need to add borders. I found this method very time consuming but it was nice not to wrestle a big quilt through the machine. I think this method would work well if you split your quilt in two or three sections then all the seams would be parallel. I did mine in 9 sections (3 x 3) + borders. What was I thinking? I just hope it doesn't come apart after doing all that work. I'll share a tip about trimming batting. Instead of trying to trim both battings at the same time, I trimmed one side with a ruler then put the other side underneath and marked with a Clover chalk then cut the other side. Works really well with Warm and Natural batting. Don't worry about a little gap, batting is quite forgiving. Have a good day. |

I'm having an A/C installed on Thursday next week ... maybe I'll be able to get some sewing done during the summers now (over 80°F is not comfortable). Couple of weeks ago, I hauled all my orphan blocks, batting, backing, cutting tools to the office and made 'sandwiches'; a week ago, the spray adhesive was applied ... agh! I wanna sew!!!!!!!!!!

Jenniky - glad you figured it out. Looking forward to trying this method. I just haven't felt like quilting much lately with all these house issues we're having.

Just ran across this QAYG Challenge. I have been in the process of making a string quilt using the QAYG method and wish I had found it sooner as you have many things here that I struggled with. So now I am in the process of reading 60 pages! LOL
Jenniky you are doing a great job on your tutorials. |
I have been wanting to try this doing a Log Cabin, thank you for sharing.
