my scrappy quilt....so far

I decided to try the QAYG method, I have never done it before. This is a photo of the blocks before I quilted them yesterday, I have to add the sashing between the blocks next.

I LOVE the QAYG method!!! So much easier than trying to push a large quilt through a standard sewing machine to quilt it. I have a 7" opening on my Janome, a very tight work area to feed a large quilt through.
I had so many scraps, I am glad I could use them up this way. The blocks are not laid out how I want them....I put them on the bed to see what it would look like so far. My daughter's comforter got ruined, so I making this for them as a replacement.

QM 03-29-2017 09:25 AM

Hmmm. Maybe I should do this with a few of my many scraps.

QuiltnNan 03-29-2017 09:39 AM

this will be one pretty quilt!

cathyvv 03-29-2017 02:17 PM

That is going to be wonderful! Thanks for the idea. I've been cutting 5.5 inch squares to make masculine quilts, and this will put them to good use.

A great way to use up scraps.

twinkie 03-30-2017 02:27 AM

I haven't investigated the QAYG method yet but I am going to. Nice quilt.

QuiltMom2 03-30-2017 02:33 AM

That's a great scrappy, nice and bright and cheerful.

jmoore 03-30-2017 02:39 AM

You are doing a great job! Your colors are very well arranged, but likely you can play with the layout some more.

appleblossom 03-30-2017 08:00 AM

It looks great!

Lilrain 03-30-2017 08:39 AM

Will be watching for a picture of the finished quilt and your impressions after finishing it. Was it the way to go? May want to try it.

farmquilter 03-30-2017 08:50 AM

Really like your blocks so far and a great way to use up not-so-big scraps.
Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

Joset 03-30-2017 02:52 PM

BrendaK 03-30-2017 06:20 PM

That pattern would be great as an I Spy. Like what you did. Thanks for sharing. Can we see a picture after it's finished? BrendaK

Your quilt will be beautiful when finished. Hope you share it after you have the blocks quilted.

carolynjo 04-04-2017 06:52 PM

That will be so pretty when finished.

Claire123 04-10-2017 08:43 PM

Glad it's working out for you.

AVFD215 04-11-2017 06:09 AM

I like the random layout you have now. Can't wait to see what your finished quilt will look like.

I finally got my scrappy quilt almost completed. I have to put the binding on yet. It was interesting doing the QAYG method, but sure was easier than handling the entire quilt as one unit to quilt it on my standard machine.

Jane Quilter 05-07-2017 12:35 AM

very nice......love the purple boarder.

very nice indeed and I really like the small black sashing! great job.

kinminis 05-07-2017 03:46 AM

Thanks Jane Quilter, I used the purple/lavender combo since I was running out of the other scrap fabric to get the proper width....and the purple/lavender were their wedding colors. Thought I would add a personal touch.

joyce888 05-07-2017 04:41 AM

Very nice, the small black dashing really helps identify the individual blocks.

AVFD215 05-07-2017 06:34 AM

The black sashing hi-lites to blocks very nicely.
