    i just recently bought the fun & done! it has been nightmares & wasted fabric for me! What am i doing wrong?? i was making one with scrappy strings, but i thought it might be the backing fabric because it was slick. so i tried better fabric, it was better, i made 2 blocks & measured it, & the sizes are still off. any help would be appreciated i have been sewing for yrs so i know alot. judy

    I do the block by block method and I love it. I had quilt the blocks then sash them together. Of course I haven't tried anything really complicated yet. I did a queen size for my bed.

    I've done a scrappy one from a vintage fabric sample book. It just kept getting bigger and bigger until it was king sized. I had it on my porch for cool evenings, but the dogs have taken it over.

    I would love to hear details of how you do this, as the last queen size I quilted on my sewing machine I almost gave up. Will never quilt that large of a quilt on the machine again, unless maybe I could do it piece by piece like you did.

    I made a queen sized one for my hubby. He complained that I always made quilts for others and not him so I made HIM one :lol:

    You can even add borders using the same technique without a problem.

    It depends on the method. There are several. I made a queen sized Quilt of Valor QAYG. I think it turned out beautifully.

    Go to: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-52698-1.htm
    for QAYG that Deb Uses - it is a really great way to do it, and involves no hand stitching!
