Do you enjoy making the Quilt As You Go Quilts (QAYG)
#83
Oh, my, when I first started quilting it was ragtime quilts, I made 15 of those. Then quilt as you go, or flip and sew quilts, I've made about 8 or 9 of these.
Now, I've just finished the Judy Neimeyer Bali Wedding Star, it's not quilted yet, but will be in August. Time to start my challenge quilt for our Quilt Guild.

I am making quilts for all 15 of our grandchildren for their birthdays using the quilt as you go method. I found a great book called "When you're done, you're done". It has several different patterns. Easy and fun to do. Ten done, five to go!

I don't like having to add that extra strip of fabric and hand sewing it to the back. My method avoids this and there are no raw edges. I have used this method using my serger for some of my charity quilts. The important thing is to smooth all the layers before meandering (free motion quilting) or adding the next section.
Just my technique and thoughts.

It made it nice that I was finished and didn't have to add borders and binding but I think I would like to have made the quilt a little larger. I think I could have added a border before I finished the outside edge not sure. I didn't take a class I just watcha another class finish there quit this way and I had blocks made so I tryed it. It's ok but like I say I would have liked it to be larger.

My attempt to do a video tutorial on QAYG, A couple people loved it and really appreciated it, I guess their brains work the same way mine does.
Mostly it got horrible reviews about the shaky camera and my rambling and the nice people just made comments about the cute cat. One of these days I'll try to do it again with a tripod and a written script, to keep the rambling down.
