I really found that I like her method.
I decided to make some string blocks but instead of squares, I made them rectangular. I quilted them in just straight, simple lines & then joined them together. I'll probably use this little sample as a place mat (or something).
If & when I ever get my Calif. King quilt top finished I will use this technique on it.
Also, you might want to try QAYG by columns. No handwork and only working with the width of your block. I found this is a great method. I've added sashing to some of my quilts. Way easy and things go very quickly. I HAVE discovered that I like to leave at least 1/2"on the edge that I add the next column to. Plus, that way I quilt over the seam when I work on the 2nd, 3rd etc columns. WAY easy. Try it. I love it because I'm not into all the handwork of the other methods. This gal has 4 videos on this.
