Thank you.... if my instructions were clear, it's probably because I was right in the middle of doing this myself, so the perfect time to write a tute! Didn't have to try to recall things. It's really even easier than I probably made it sound. I hope to show you all my finished quilt soon. Can't believe I made such a big quilt that quickly. It's going to finish out at about 62"x75", for the top of a double bed. That's big, for me! :D

Sewbizgirl, thank you so much for this tut! I really hadn't understood the process until I read this and saw your pix. I might just try this with a dozen 9 inch blocks I've had for 15 years and didn't know what to do with. It might just be the right size for a first attempt. THANK YOU!

Glad it helped, Janice...

Got my quilt bound last night, and it's DONE. It's a beautiful FRIENDSHIP QUILT. I had tons of fun quilting your blocks individually. Hope you can all see your block(s) in one of the closeups....

Sewbiz that turned out so beautiful. I love all your blocks,you were gifted some real treasures. I really love the narrow sashing.

Terrific job. Thanks for letting us know over in the Topaz, I might have missed it.

Sewbiz, I LOVE your quilt! It's amazing that so many of us made blocks and you put them together so perfectly. Bravo!! I am definitely trying this way with my Topaz blocks.

SO pretty. You did a great job on the QAYG method! Ill have to give it a try again!! I assume you are keeping this one for yourself?? It would match my paint in my bedroom perfectly!! :)

It doesn't leave the house! It's spread out on the bed in my daughter's bedroom upstairs (that she moved out of 12 years ago). Lovely guest room quilt!

I posted it on my Facebook page and one friend asked me if I "was selling those". I'm sure she had in mind about $100-200, LOL.

Terri you are right. It's a relief to have it done. Pretty painless as a QAYG, tho.

Joan, how BIG is that fish quilt going to be? You must have 40 blocks or more.
