Sundar, yes you can use this method to do a queen size quilt. Check out in pictures, Wall hanging and some quilts. I made for my children last Christmas. The quilt is super queen size and is reversible. I did not use this exact method, but took my pattern from a book by Sharon Pederson. I am currently in the process of making a quilt for my brother that will be reversible. size 108x90 without border or binding. Gerbie |
Thanks very much. I think I will try a small one, too.
|
Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! The main reason I disliked QAYG was all the hand sewing. You have made it really easy and now I know what to do with the Steam-a-Seam that I won at the fair year ago. I really apprecaite all the pics and time it took you to do this.
|
thanks for this. My first quilt as you go and brother I sure wish I had this tutorial then. I will bookmark this .
great looking heart there. |
Finally a QAYG tutorial that explains everything clearly and concisely. I have been wanting to attempt one, but have been confused by other tutorials. Thanks!!

Wonderful tutorial.....The heart is ab-sewww-lutely BEAUTIFUL! Thank you sewww much for sharing.
|
A very well done tutorial. Thanks for sharing the info, I've done this a lonnnggg time ago, but didn't use steam a seam. This makes it easier, thanks again.
|
Thanks for the info.I hope to use the tute & the pics make it very clear.Was wondering about using glue also.
Then saw your "using a bias maker " & that made my day :D .Have been trying to find enough info from a bias maker owner to decide on buying one.Yours is the 1st mention I've seen except for binding a quilt.What size bias strip maker would I need for using the tute?Thanks & hope you'll share pics, if & when.

I like that also. Today I went to Joann's and got the tiny tip for the glue bottle as has been recommended in other threads. For the backing piece, cut 1 1/2 inches, finished to 3/4 inch, I used a bias tape maker and it was so simple. I am excited to finish the project I am currently on and do a quilt in this method. Thanks for your detailed, simple instructions.

You are sure good at making a tute! Every step is clear & for me, a visual person, the pics help so much.Thanks for doing this,know it must have taken a lot of time.Hope to see more tutes from you. Thanks again

Especially helpful is the fact that you see "more" when looking at things than many others. Good show! <wave> |

That's it! Hope it was OK and that if you give it a try, you'll show your pics. ;-) :-D |
Thanks for taking the time to put this together--I think I can do this! So excited!!!

Regarding the wallhanging, I just recently finished one of Scorhill Circle on Dartmoor which is much less known and visited but I think just as beautiful and in a much wilder location. I don't know if you saw it, here's a link, might give you a push with your Stonehenge one. :-D http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-75461-1.htm |

Hi I have had a rare whole day sewing today made a christmas table runner for my sister in law. Well it`s not quite finished yet but wont be long. I don`t very often like what I make because all I see are the mistakes but I am fairly new to all this. Thanks for replying colette

We are all very critical of our own work, we all look for the "mistakes" we have made, thats the point of it being "handmade" and not by a machine, the main thing that it was made with love and when you make things for another person it is the "time" you have put into it, your precious time, no one can buy time.
We have all been to craft shows where we see those embroidery machines working away with no one operating them as they are programmed by a microchip, the results are always perfect, we are not programmed by "chips" therefore the mistakes we make are all part of us. Having something that is handmade especially for you IS special, flaws and all. Have a lovely Christmas everyone keep on Quilting in 2011 with passion. Regards Aussie Carol |

I've heard of Evernote. How could you save this tutorial there?

It is so beautiful; of course you can make the embellishments, as in the tutorial, especially to have something pretty, or just make a scrappy one so you can "cover" it with your pins. As for filler, I have a friend who suggested using "crushed emory." That way, it would keep your pins (and needles) nice and sharp. She suggested maybe Lowe's or someone would carry it. Anyone heard of where it is sold?

Thank you for the tutorial -- it was really great -- another one for the bookmark:)
|
I wondered what I was going to do with all my red and white left over strips. Thanks for the suggestion
|
It occured to me lately to wonder if there is such a thing as fusible bias like the kind used for stained glass and Celtic work only wider....
