:| I thought I would be learning a new technique that would save time. Guess it does, to a point. But, hand sewing? They tell me to do it while watching tv. Nooooooo, that's my time for yarn work, computer games, etc. Ugh.
Okay, vent over. I feel better now that I've warned everyone. Spread the word. I'm relying on you! ;)
There is more than one way to do QAYG. I started with the "Fun and Done" pattern and it is all done by machine. The pattern I have is by Prairie Sky Quilting and the pattern name is "Easy Diamonds Quilt. When you sew the blocks together, and then finish the seam on the front of the quilt top, it creates the sashings between the blocks.
