Thanks everyone. :-D

I don't see why not, the only thing I would say is that with the 6" squares that I used, the hanging was rather stiff but maybe with bigger squares...

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.

wichypoo 11-11-2010 03:18 PM

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.

Joeysnana 11-11-2010 05:22 PM

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.

dollycaswell 11-12-2010 06:52 AM

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.

plainpat 11-13-2010 02:56 AM

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.


plainpat 11-13-2010 03:03 AM

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

Thanks everyone for your positive feedback - I may be teaching this technique as a course locally in the near future and you've all given me the confidence to go for it!

You will be a GREAT teacher!
Especially helpful is the fact that you see "more" when looking at things than many others.
Good show! <wave>

Thanks Omak, that is a sweet thing to say! :-D

This, I believe I can do! Thank you for the glimpse into you life.I too was raised in southern England, Salisbury to be exact. I have attempted a wall hanging of Stonehenge but I have a long way to go!

That's it! Hope it was OK and that if you give it a try, you'll show your pics. ;-) :-D

Thanks for the tute. It seems really easy.

Suzi P 11-29-2010 07:25 PM

Thanks for taking the time to put this together--I think I can do this! So excited!!!

We're about 40 minutes from Salisbury! :-D I love Stonehenge, in fact, I used to work for a PR agency and they were one of our clients for a while! :-D :-D :-D We had one press story about a UFO in the stones, which turned out to be an escaped budgerigar that was then reunited with it's owner, a sweet lady who lived on the outskirts of town. The bird had travelled at least a couple of miles! :shock: :D

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

Hello I have just joined and watched your tutorial. It was great and easy to understand. By the way I`m not far away as I`m only up the road in Cardiff

Hello and welcome! Not far at all as the crow flies - if I went up to Minehead, I could wave to you over the Bristol Channel! :-D

coletteelizabeth 12-10-2010 10:44 AM

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

Carol Wilson 12-10-2010 11:20 AM

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.

Now that I have seen this tute, I will try it out and hopefully finish the quilt off in the not too distant future! I amy even attempt another one! Thank you loads! :D :thumbup:

Here here! I LOVE doing free motion quilting for example and am not fond of panto work - in fact, I'm actually rather insulted if anyone takes my work for panto work - I almost put mistakes in on purpose, so it's obvious that it's freehand. :mrgreen: In my opinion, freehand has much more 'soul' somehow. :D

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

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?

Just do a search for "Emory Sand" or just use some "00" Steel wool, it won't migrate thru the fabric as easily. Keeps pins & needles sharp too!

One thing I've heard about using Fusible Web (Steam-a-seam & others) is that if you want it to use it where you plan to sew it permanently, use the"light" version, as it won't feel as stiff later on.

GeriP 02-01-2011 04:41 PM

Thank you for the tutorial -- it was really great -- another one for the bookmark:)

vivnme 02-01-2011 06:26 PM

I wondered what I was going to do with all my red and white left over strips. Thanks for the suggestion

k3n 02-02-2011 01:06 AM

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....

Thank you - I knew that method but wanted a little more precision about where my sewing lines ended up which is why I thought of the fusible web. I'm sure it's not an original idea but I did think of it myself. :-D
