looking for suggestions on how to quilt a row by row quilt

sry I have never made one. hope someone here can help.

Maybe you can post a picture of it and suggestions will follow?

Here is one URL I looked at when I typed in "quilt as you go"(googled it) : http://www.secretsof.com/content/194
Hope you find one that works for you and that perhaps this one will get you started.

It would help to have a picture.

I would suggest the book "Row by Row: 10 easy bar quilts" by Terry Martin. Published by That Patchwork Place.
The block patterns are not complicated and there are some good ideas for theme quilts.

I love this site. I always wondered how they connect QAYG blocks. awesome, saved for future reference.

Yeah, it makes it at least look do-able. I haven't tried it that way yet but hope to as I have a large print fabric I've cut into 12 inch squares to make into a quilt for my queen size bed and doing it on an angle to boot. I think I made it harder on myself.

I don't understand what is meant by "dovetailing" the batting. Can someone explain that to me, please?

thanks for the link

the one I did for a customer was custom, sorry I am bad, I never remember to take pictures of the quilts after I quilt them.

We have had a post for that on here. I don't remember if it was a link to another site or if one of our members showed us how they did it. If you use our search field on 'fun and done' and 'quilt as you go' I think you will find reference to it. I am thinking it may have been a link to quilters world./Regards, Dorothy

There is a picture in the tutorial, just following that remark. It seems to show that you split the difference in the thickness of the batting, so the batting overlaps, but remains a consistent thickness.

There is also a lady named Penny Halgren who has several differnt tuts for QAYG projects. I like your explanation of dove -tailing.

I'm working on quilting a quilt that is called row by row its where every row of the quilt is different.

sounds neat. Can we see the progress? Are you in Andover Mass? I'm in Norwell

Hi, Im working on my FIRST and using a book from Beth Donaldson called Block by Block. The instructions are very clear and so far so good! If you will google QAYG or quilt as you go, you will get several different sites with instructions, all different so you can pick and choose, but the Block by Block technique is only in that book. :D

Here's a picture of one I taught many years ago for beginners. I started with the stars at the top and worked my way down. Maybe it will give you some ideas.

I subscribe to Penny Halgren's web site and she has many tutes. There are may ways that she can separate you from your money on this site so be strong!!!!

You are right on the money end. So I do have to be strong, so far, so good!

I love your quilt. It's so cute!
