Do you enjoy making the Quilt As You Go Quilts (QAYG)
#11
I haven't tried one yet, but I think I will someday. I loved the look of the scrappy string quilt that Ditter made. Maybe when I have enough stash/scraps, I'll give it a try! I've only been quilting for about 9 months and I really enjoy it, but I have to admit I start getting impatient for a completed product. I have 4 quilt tops that are still just tops and one that I have almost finished quilting and then only have to bind it. Can't wait to finish! :)

As a newbie, I don't know what quilt patterns lend themselves to QAYG, but I'd like to try some.
I've done several crib-size "6-Hour Quilts," a reversible table runner (designed by Karen Montgomery), and several pillow tops that a friend of mine designed, all of which were QAYG. They were fun projects but I wouldn't want to expand them to larger sizes.
Crafty Bear, can you suggest some good patterns/techniques???

It has been awhile since I made one. I thought, once I got the hang of it, they were simple and a lot of enjoyment. I really need to sit down and decide on another project...quilt as you go sounds like the ticket.

I'm still pretty new to quilting so I haven't done one yet but I want to. I think I have seen more than one way to put them together and I haven't found directions that I plan to use yet.

I posted this on another thread this morning. A lot of QAYG threads today.
The post in the link (and the one right after it on that thread) contain a list of a variety of methods and sources (books and tutorials here on the web) for those looking at the different methods.

I don't like having to add that extra strip of fabric and hand sewing it to the back. My method avoids this and there are no raw edges. I have used this method using my serger for some of my charity quilts. The important thing is to smooth all the layers before meandering (free motion quilting) or adding the next section.
Just my technique and thoughts.

Thanks to you guys for sharing the links - but that's the problem for me. There are TOO MANY ways to do it. I will definitely not hand sew so those are out, but still there are too many options. I want to do one so bad because I've only done FMQ on small things and feel confident there. Which no-hand-sew technique do you use?
