Oh it is great. What a nice way to remember your friend. I like the hankie quilts. I wanted to collect them for my DD but it is hard to find them any more. I have found some nice ones at, of all places, Dollar General! But other then thrift stores have no success at finding them. And those are sometimes yucky!!!

Thanks again, it was nice to see another quilt using this method...that I plan to use too!!!

I did a QAYG for my Son about this same way back in the 80s, only I sewed them together on the front and turned under the backing and hand sewed them together. He still has it and the stitches are still together. Unless his weird wife has done something to it.

This is an awesome tute. I understood it right away in the beginning of your instructions. There is another QAYG tute for a strippy quilt here at the forum which I was going to use. But I think I have changed my mind and will be doing yours. Love the back of your quilt. I am going to have to draw a detailed map for my back for it to turn out right. LOL........
Thank Bunches for the tute. Good Job!

With the final binding, I did not do the QAYG method. I trimmed the entire outside to match the top and batting, then attached the 2-1/2 inch (folded in half) binding 1/4 inch (as I normally do) then fturned it to the back side and hand stitched it down.

It is like fun and done, I postd this before I even knew what Fun and Done was!

I think Missouri Star Quilt company has a tute on this. It would be very easy to make a striped table topper in a short amount of time with this method.

But I still dont understand how you attach the blocks to each other and make the quilt fall nicely when used?

Perhaps this video link will make it clear.

Looked at the video. I MUST TRY THIS. Thanks very much for sharing. Will save a lot of frustration and hours.
