Thank y'all for all the compliments on the quilt. It looks like I need to fluff my pillows in the photos. It's hard to photograph a quilt this large. It was my first time to try this way to QAYG. The best way I can describe it is it is done like binding. The front of the quilt is sashed the usual way, I have a 1/2 inch of batting all around each square. As I sewed one side of the sashing, I also sewed the raw edge of a double binding strip on the back. Next, I matched and sewed the other side of the sashing, making the front look normal. Then I used a fabric folding pen to fold and press the back sash across the back. I top stitched the sashing, which also stitched down the back. It makes the sashing area thicker but that is why I used thin Thermore instead of cotton. I suggest anyone who wants to try it to go to you tube and look up "How to join QAYG blocks" not just QAYG blocks. I hand stitched any areas with a flap or if I missed entirely.
