First attempt at QAYG
 

Today I decided to try the Quilt as you Go method. It's something I've been looking into for a long time & finally decided to try Leah Day's method that she demonstrates on a tutorial here:

I really found that I like her method.
I decided to make some string blocks but instead of squares, I made them rectangular. I quilted them in just straight, simple lines & then joined them together. I'll probably use this little sample as a place mat (or something). :)

If & when I ever get my Calif. King quilt top finished I will use this technique on it.

nicely done

I have wanted to try this but haven't yet. Maybe when I get around to my king size bed quilt... one day!

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice and colorful.

Cute mat, will check out the link when I get a few more minutes, thanks!

Good job, I would have to learn the technique in order to do it. I remember years ago there was a lovely lady here on the board, who did a tutorial on this process but I just couldn't get it so never tried. I have a pattern for a oversized sort of crazy block that I would love to try this on I think it's about 25 inches square. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Good job!!

Very kool. Thanks for the link. BrendaK

Very pretty.

There are at least two tutorials on this board with good directions on the QAYG technique. I have made quilts using them, easy to understand and do.

Your little quilt looks great. I think this is a great technique and there are several variations for which tutorials are available. I know they are some more time consuming that long arm quilting. But, they allow the users of DSMs to have great looks without very major expense of money and space.
