Great colors and pattern

This is wonderful! But I have one question....Isn't more quilting needed vertically? I can see where attaching the horizontal seams takes care of the 6" spacing, but there is a long "tube" created with no quilting in between. Thx.

I wish I had seen this earlier. I have a crib quilt and a lap quilt I'm trying to quilt on my DM. This would be soooo much easier.

As you are not using a walking foot, what type of sewing machine are you using? What type of battting? Are you using a "pattern type backing fabric?"

Love your quilt, the colors and pattern. You did a great job on it. I also think the Bay Side Quilting site is a good tutorial to check out their Fun & Done method.

Thanks for the Bayside quilting website, love her method, easiest one I have seen yet and so pretty too.

Good job! I am intrigued with your method. I think I will try that.

Very pretty. Thanks for sharing.

I am a piecer - not a quilter. Generally I piece comfort quilts that our Guild donates to a local hospital for cancer patients to have. In the past, those have been tied. This year I decided to learn "quilt as you go" and see if I liked the look of it. Not only did I love sewing it, I loved the look of it. While I was at it, I learned the flange binding technique and am pleased with that as well. In learning the QAYG, I used lots of the two-prong seam pins, spent lots of time ironing, and used a regular pressure foot - not my walking foot. I have quilted some small things in the past but was never satisfied with the less than professional look. And I could never learn to control my stitch length with the walking foot. My machine sewed all layers without a blink. I doubt I will ever tie another quilt.

It's a beautifiul quilt, love the bright colors. I'm a little of both - piecer and quilter, but I have been fascinated by the QAYG method, that I first learned about from a book by Georgia Bonesteel. I think I'll have to pull that book out again, as I don't like sandwiching my larger quilts. Nicely done though - an inspiration.
