If so, what stitches did you use? Was it a "stitch and flip" method or other method?
Thanks

I did make one. It had large squares of fleece & satin. I was having serger problems so it wasn't as nice as I would have liked but it was from a book by Nancy Ziemman (?) I did wind up putting the binding on with my sewing machine.

Kay Wood has a serger quilt called The 6 Hour Quilt.
It is a two sided quilt so when finished it is all quilted and just needs binding.

Nancy Zieman has also shown these on her show, you could probably find out which book on her website :D:D:D

Would love to try one. Are the seams sturdy?

I put a top together with my serger one time, just for fun. It wasn't a QAYG though. It was a log cabin quilt, and I loved how it looked on the wrong side of the top--all those nice finished seams. The serger I had then didn't have any markings so I had to really pay attention to my seam allowances--it all worked out fine. I only did that on one quilt, and probably won't use the serger to make another one. My serger is noisy, and I pretty much only use it to make pajamas at Christmastime for my grandchildren...

The seams didn't feel as sturdy to me & it wasn't as quick as straight sewing on reg. machine (mine isn't). Don't think I'll do it again.

Was it difficult to have even and straight seams? I have just a basic serger and never use it - 'just wanted to know if it might be faster than sewing machine.......

I have an older serger & it didn't seem faster. I don't recall having trouble with the seams being straight but you can't mess up if you're using your cutting feature!
