I could never have figured that out myself. Thank you so much - this must be the best QAYG I have seen this far.

I realised you just need to join the blocks somehow (zigzag or overlock stitch) and then make a front and back cover for the join (so I made my own bias tape and machine stitched it on front and back). It's almost a year on and the quilt has held up brilliantly, I'm really pleased with it. :DChris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-43743358020129223312013-12-08T11:37:13.804-05:002013-12-08T11:37:13.804-05:00The one thing that stops me from making a big quil...The one thing that stops me from making a big quilt is having to quilt it.

I couldn't get to grips myself with so many of the QAYG tutorials out there and I couldn't figure out why they all wanted to hide one side of the stitching on the sashing strips when you could still see it on the other side - so I figured why not just have it visible on both sides. I can see that it might spoil some of the quilting designs for some quilts but for this one it really didn't! :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-48867423041606324762013-05-18T07:50:30.332-04:002013-05-18T07:50:30.332-04:00Hi Chrissie, I've featured your QAYG tutorial ...Hi Chrissie, I've featured your QAYG tutorial today... <a href="http://www.threadingmyway.com/2013/05/threading-your-way-features_18.html" rel="nofollow"> Threading Your Way ~ Features </a>Pam @Threading My Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990609128028224347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-51277325942161222722013-05-18T05:30:35.392-04:002013-05-18T05:30:35.392-04:00I LOVE the combination of colours and fabrics, Chr...I LOVE the combination of colours and fabrics, Chrissie!!! I like the idea of quilt as you go, as it seems much easier than trying to quilt a whole quilt at the end. I found it quite difficult feeding my only quilt through the machine... the bulk and the weight. I needed more hands and a bigger gap between the needle and the side of the machine (I'm sure there's a name for that).

It's also very crinkly due to the density of the quilting and for the first time ever I'm not in a rush to iron it flat - I like how it looks, it really suits this quilt. The Cathedral Window and Folded blocks are still heavier and more solid than the rest but have softened off a little. Anyway the quilt is very usable now as a quilt which is a result :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-7557065497288046972013-03-08T07:35:20.327-05:002013-03-08T07:35:20.327-05:00Hi Jen, I'm still not sure this is how you...Hi Jen, I'm still not sure this is how you're 'supposed' to do QAYG but the quilt's been washed and used now and it's all held together brilliantly so I'd say it works.
