Log Cabin Quilts - Looking for a quilt as you go queen size
#11
I have made a couple LC using QAYG. I prepared the backing, making it about 2 inches larger than what the finished block would be. Layered the batting on the backing. Center the center patch, and continue from there. If I remember correctly, the outside strips were 1/4 inch wider than the others (seam allowance for sewing the blocks together) I then trimmed the batting, and hand stitched the back seams. I believe I found this pattern many years ago in Family Circle magazine. Think I still have those pages. Probably one of the first quilts I made, so it had to be easy! Good luck with what ever you do.

I obviously don't know what I am doing! I would like to make a quilt as you go king size log cabin quilt. Has anyone done this, if so picture and method you used. I won't it to be completely finished without having to add a backing to it.

humbird, I am sure I read about the QAYG in the Family Circle magazine. Womans Day had some quilting patterns and instructions too. I was going to make them but never did. I was a newbie at the time. We were raising three kids and money was a bit tight time too.

I made a Grandson & Granddaughter in law a king size quilt. I used the double slice pattern by making four smaller quilts and sewing them together. First king I made and the last. Lots of time, ripping and lots and lots of fabrics, used about 5 rotary blades too. The biggest I will make is a large double and that will be for us.

You could make as many log cabin blocks as you need for the size of quilt you need. I plan to use Leah Day's method for QAYG on one of my quilts this year.
