Thank you for this tutorial :D:D:D

Thanks for the information

Thanks for the information

I've always wondered how this was done. I learn better from seeing pictures. Thank you so much.

you are welcome hope you will try it out

Many thanks for such clear instructions. Will try this method on my next baby quilt . Cheerio

This is a good tut. Thanks so much. I have some blocks just waiting to try out this technique.

I like having pictures too. thanks

:thumbup:

I'm bookmarking this one :-)

Thank you. I love the fact that you included so many photos. It really helps.

Thank you for sharing with such a nice visual.

THank youfor this as picked up a block from the thrift store and was going to pull of the batting as didnt know what it was as want to finish it for a [reemie quilt. Now I can figure out how to add a norders to iy and finish the quilt.

you are welcome glad i help you

Thank you so much, the pictures make everything so much clearer.

I used this technique on my second quilt, It is so much easier than hand quilting.

Thank you

Thank you so much for posting these pictures, I learn from pictures so much better. I've just started my first QAYG project & didn't want sashing. This really helps. Any tips for adding a border.

Oh, thank you so much. Now, I can handquilt in the recliner block by block and put them all together when I am done. Learning on a daily basis - I call it "LQBQB" Learning Quilting by the Quilt Board.

Thanks!

One of many methods, but I like yours.

Thank you. Great information.

I use this method all the time. I find that if I use a small print for the backing you have to look really close to see the seams.

This is the way I do it most of the time unless making a reversible quilt. Thanks for the reminder and the pictures.

Thanks, Elsie. This is a big help to lots of us.

I like !

Thank you.

same way put you top and your batting and back quilt but leaving 1/4 all around then join of course you still measure as always to get your border right

Thanks!

Thanks, that is how I was planning to do it. I thought it should be more complicated. :mrgreen: Just have to remember to leave at least 1/2 inch ( in my case) unquilted.

also i for got to add on is do rolls by rolls like eight in a roll then eight more or what ever and then join them the same way

i meant rows by rows not rolls sorry

I always wondered about this method, sometimes I will read a western love book and their always taking their piecing with them where ever they go as well as quilting. I knew they were not carrying a quilt top in their basket.:)

I'll have to try it.

let me know how u are doing if you do try it

Thanks so much, I agree that seeing a pic really does help me out a lot!!

Thank you very much for this tutorial. You have made things very clear.

Thank you for the easy to follow tut, and all the pics. You made it look so easy. I just hope it's as easy for me when I try it. lol
