Thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial. You do beautiful work.

Hi Jane, the stitch is just a straight stitch with the free motion foot (darning foot) attached. So I can move in any direction. I don't have a stitch regulator so my lengths may be inconsistent.

I think the glistening is from the flash more than anything, in natural light it's transparent. I am using monofilament thread from sulkey.

I just stitch in the ditch of the sashing, nothing else (except the borders, since those are quilted with the backing they go through all layers). Since the batting is adhered to the top with the first quilting on the blocks, I wouldn't "think" it wouldn't need much more for the backing but I could be wrong there. Honestly, most of my quilts are wall quilts so are put through too much actual use, so I don't have much data on how well this holds up through a washing or something.

Hi Teacup, yes raw edge applique. I am using MistyFuse because the pieces were cut using a Silhouette Cameo. If I need to trace and cut the traditional way, I would use SoftFuse with the tracing paper backing. Most was cut on the cameo though which made these quilts A LOT easier to get done in a timely manner.

I think it was Warm and Natural 100% cotton.

Thank you so much. I see that you answered my question on the thread that you used. It really looks like hand quilting. Amazing work.

Had so much fun reading your very entertainly written tute! How many cups of tea did it take you? :D I have to admit I got terribly distracted by your beautiful fabrics and the design you were working on. What a gorgeous quilt! And that border! But I digress... I know the amount of work and time it took you to make this lovely tute and just want to thank you for doing this for others. It's a labor of love.

I plan to use this method when I have a quilt I want to use without sashing. Love it! Thanks.

Amazing tutorial! Thank you for sharing the process.

Great tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to do this for us. Another QAYG method that I have tried twice & like very much is the one that Candy Glendening from Candied Fabrics did. You quilt it in columns. It is a free tutorial. I love to try new things so I will be trying your way also.

This was a wonderful and easy to understand tute. Thank You for taking the time to make this tute. One question???? Did you get the dishes done??????? lol

This was amazing. You broke down a rather complicated explanation into words and pictures that I can understand. Thank you.

By the way your quilt is beautiful.

Fantabulous quilt and thank you so much for the tutorial.
