I made a QAYG row by row. My main machine was in the shop and I was having trouble with the tension on my old machine. I had three rows together and was ashamed of the backs . I put the rest together using only the front sashing piece. Then i used a new backing and stitched on the front along both sides of the sashing. Looks great. I like the qayg method on Ann Peterson's craftsy site on how to machine quilt big machines on a domestic sewing machine.
