I also do QAYG by Column. The only thing I do different is I make my entire back as one piece, and leave a good 1/2" from the edge to have plenty of space to sew the next column of blocks on. She does a lot of talking in the beginning, but hang in there and see if it might work for you too. Check out this gal. Candy Glendening and she has 4 videos on this method.
