Thank you for taking this on! I will try to participate as much as I can.
When I learned QAYG several years, it has really helped me get more done. PLUS.....I love making 2-sided quilts now. People will say the back is just as pretty as the front. I sometimes just use leftover fabrics or scraps / FQs or fabrics I know I don't really want to work with anymore and put these on the back. Really helps with busting the stash.
I mostly work on individual blocks and put them together but this limits pattern selection a little.
I'm starting to tackle patterns that need to be put together as a complete top to see the pattern (if that makes sense) so these get quilted in rows then put together ..... kind of like "flip and sew". I think Jenniky shared one of these methods previously.
Enjoy the learning process of QAYG. Once you master it, you'll love it !!
