Quilt as you go
#21
Here's the bag of my scrappy QAYG - it was assembled and quilted in rows, stopping half an inch from the edge then these sections were quilted after assembly of the top. I just left the quilting thread trailing. The borders were also quilted independently then added. There's no sashing - no one told me you couldn't do QAYG without sashing so I did it! :D

These look like so much fun to do. I'm wanting to try one of these, but am trying to figure out how to not have a sashing on the front. Would you just sew the blocks together normally, then when you stitch the back seam together, could you trim one of the sides of the seams down and fold over the other one? Would that work?

I did a GAUG on a crazy quilt....I found the instructions on the net. It has a narrow 1" strip on the front and a 1 3/4" inch strip (doubled) on the back that you then hand stitched down. It worked pretty good cuz I did some fancy lace and machine stitches on each block layered with top,batting and backing. I enjoyed the hand stitching when I had the rows together. I just goggled "quiltasyougo" and this site came up.

If you are making string blocks, you can do them quilt as you go. Cut your backing and batting, then sew the strings on the blocks and square. Your quilting is already done. Then, the blocks are put together with sashing, much like the method mentioned above. Easy, pretty, and quick.
