I took a workshop using Sharon Pederson's book, "Reversible Quilts" http://www.amazon.com/Reversible-Qui...0528558&sr=1-1
Go to your local library branch and get this through their interlibrary loan program (free) - you can really learn a lot without having to buy a new book!


Although the title says "reversible" the concept is the same. I love this method much better than the Cotton Method which I tried a couple of times and just didn't like the seam finishes - a matter of tastem for sure!

Once you get the concept down, which is not too hard, you can just fly through these projects. It is SOOOO nice to get to the "end" of making a quilt top and finding that you just have to do the binding.

I have done this and like it very much. It can be fun and it also can be trouble some, it all depends which quilting tech nick
you use.

I compiled a list of the various QAYG methods (w/links) back in July on another thread - the info is in two posts.
I'm not going to repost the whole thing again, so here's the link to the earlier posts.

I'm a huge fan of this method - not just because quilting is not my favorite thing to do, but because it can be so versatile.
You know, you don't always have to use a square grid pattern for this construction.

Beautiful quilt, MIjul!

I love Quilt as you go, you can make a big quilt with little effort trying to get it quilted. Just quilt each piece before sewing them together and once they are all sewn together you just have to do the binding and the quilt is done. Working on one now that i did 20" blocks. I will post it soon

I have done this a few times and really like it for small or baby quilts. just made tow for our Craft Bazaar at church for this coming Friday....quick and easy to do...sort of like court house steps and sandwiched from the start...NO quilting to do, just binding when you get it to the size you want... I'll try to send you a pic.....super simple!

My quilted and embroidered in the hoop quilt blocks need piecing. Thanks for all the info.

Thanks for this thread. I have yet to start my quilt as you go project, but I am looking forward to it. What is nice is that it is done when you've finished piecing the quilt, and I like that.
