Thanks a bunch for the web site - looks like something I might try out.

I teach the "Fun and Done" and "Cotton Theory" methods and neither one of them require hand sewing.

you really don't need the template. you can even use a wide picture frame. the inside opening for the smaller square and the outside for the larger square. or two square rulers. once you know the method, it's very easy.

I don't know what the crazyshortcup method is but I do add sashing in back and in front and quilt as I go. Have tried several methods and now this is the only way I am doing my large quilts. No hand sewing is great.

i also do the sashings on top and back then stitch together. it is very easy-peasy. doing the quilting before the quilt is put together is very nice too. i find that the greatest advantage to a qayg is that the quilt can be added to to increase the size anytime and an older or damaged block can be removed and repaired or replaced without tearing up a whole quilt to do it. it is a very thrifty way of quiltmaking whether you do it by hand or by machine.
