How do you join"quilt as you go" blocks?
 

As a newbie, I hope this isn't a dumb question. However, after reading a tutorial, I followed it just fine but they quit after making the block. How do you join these blocks so that it is finished on both sides? Can't figure this out on my own. Thanks.

Here is one someone posted here not long ago. ...blogspot.com/.../quilt-as-you-go--joini... And, welshquilter.blogspot.com/2008/02/quilt-as-you-go.html, Hope this helps you.

Here's another.

And then there is the Cotton Theory.

Leah Day just did a post on this: http://www.freemotionquilting.blogsp...ed-pieces.html

and a follow-up: http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.c...hursday-8.html

Leah's tutorial is great - very clear and produces very neat results.

There are several different methods for QAYG.
I have only done one the Fun and Done where the blocks are quilted before you put them togather. This method has you cut the backing bigger and bring it to the front to connect the blocks. All QAYG seem to make a stiffer quilt and I dont care for this so will not make another one.

Here is a link to a tutorial I posted in the Tutorial section. These are the ones I use the most but there are lots out there.
