Welcome! Funny you should ask... Only today I was sandwiching a throw size quilt to quilt for donation, AND quilting 12.5" blocks to be QAYG. It was so much fun to quilt those blocks... it's a sampler quilt so each block is different and I got to play with lots of curved walking foot designs. I had 30 blocks and got half of them quilted in no time! I could have done them all today but I used up all my batting.
I am one of the people who posted a pictorial tute on the board for joining these blocks. I don't do any hand sewing. And it goes together pretty fast.
If you are only making a throw size quilt you can probably quilt it in one piece on your machine, no problem. Or, if you want to play with QAYG, check out my tute on joining the blocks.
