I am trying the quilt as you go method for the first time. I need a "going away" quilt for a friend who became like a daughter to me when her Mom passed.
The method is so easy and very rewarding. No tugging around on the machine to make sure every seam is quilted.
Just for kicks, I'm going to display, in pictures, my progress. First will be the front and back of the quilted block.
I'm so happy I have made friends on this site. I was the youngest of a group of ladies that formed a club. I also the last of them alive. I get very lonely for someone to talk with. I don't communicate well with this newer generation, too old fashioned. Are there anymore old fashioned quilters out there? If you are one, I'm saying "Hi and God Bless" Virginia, Illinois
Day 1-First Block-"Quilt As You Go"
The excess needs to be squared off before attaching to Block 2. Am quilting with navy blue thread. Since it a large pattern, 15 inch block, I think it show up the quilting better. Also, still needs sashing.
