Quilt as you go
 

I need to make a king size quilt for a gift and I don't have a long arm so I would like to try a QAYG log cabin. I'd like to quilt all 3 layers together then attach the squares. Does anyone know of a tutorial or step by step how to's? Thank you

This isn't quite the same as QAYG, but quilting in sections is well explained in Marti Michell's book, Machine Quilting in Sections. I used several of the methods in her book to put together large quilts before I got a longarm.

Georgia Bonesteel is the queen of QAYG. Here is a three part video of how she joins the blocks together after quilting them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ucsUwWbj4o

There are quite a few hints on the forum here too, I used QAYG in the search here to come up with this one, and I know there are more. http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...lt-t60764.html

Fun and Done makes the backing larger than the square then you sew the backings togather and bring to the front of the two blocks and sew down on each side. Easier than cutting a separate piece to connect the sqs.
Google Fun and Done.

Like Dunster wrote, Marti M's book makes it easier to do. It is one of the books I won't get rid of!

hmmm, i never had an explanation of Fun n Done before... sounds like a good way to go.

I have done several different QAYG quilts. Some methods I like better than others.

Ha. I did one the Fun and Done way and didn't know it!

I found lots of tutorials, both on this board and with google and you tube. I did make a Fun and Done and it was fun and then done. Also experimented with another kind. Will be doing more experimenting.
