Hi!..I am going to try to upload a picture of the quilt I rushed to make for my dad for Christmas. I started it in late November (not a great idea) and worked night and day on it for a long time. It is a sort of quilt as you go...my first....I made the blocks then added them together with the backing as the sashing after quilting them first. Someone might clarify to me if that is actually a QAYG. LOL I finally got the quilt done in time for Christmas...my biggest quilt yet. But I forgot to take a picture until February. Imagine my surprise when I went to his house to take the picture only to find it nicely folded up in the guest room closet!!! Oh well, at least he made a fuss over it at Christmas. LOL

I did like this method of making a quilt since I find a large quilt (shoot, even a small one) hard to manage on my machine to quilt. But I am too anxious to try new methods to do another one too soon! OH,...and thanks to all the answers I had about how many layers to use of batting. I am sooooo glad I stuck to just one! :-)

That's a lot of "firsts"...it is a beautiful quilt, lovely colours and pattern. You will be an "old hand" in no time at this rate!

Very nice quilt!
Be sure you tell him that you WANT him to use it. So many people are afraid to use something that someone took so much time making.

Really great quilt, it's fun to make with someone special in mind, isn't it? I agree with ctack2, Dad must want to keep it clean & new looking. I bet he shows it to visitors though.

Just an update, when I went to my dad's today, the quilt was on his bed! LOL He also said that it was so much work, he wanted to pay me for it. I explained NO, that was a Christmas present but I'm glad he liked it. Apparently it was too warm to use with his heating blanket!

ctack2 03-03-2011 02:50 PM

I'm so glad he's using it!

MamaBear61 03-04-2011 06:37 PM

Very pretty.

It's a beautiful quilt. I think it qualifies as QAYG. Sounds like the Fun and Done method, I think. I'm glad your Dad is using and enjoying.
