From looking at the method I can tell you this is my favourite way of joining quilt as you go squares! I just have to try it now and make sure I learn how to do it :D But this is definitely the best so far. Thanks!

I use this method on all my quilts. Sometimes my quilt top are pieced squares. I sew my pieced quilt square first. Then I just cut the batting about an inch larger and the backing maybe an inch and a half. When I have quilted one “block sandwich” I trim the batting to the size of the top and trim the backing fabric to one inch all around. Then attach the the squares in rows as you have done. That way I can make a variety of sized quilt squares The quilt I am working on right now one quilt square is 21 inches squared! But the method still works beautifully!

Thank you for the super clear instructions! I’ve watched a couple others and almost gave up but I totally understand the procedure now. You’re a good teacher.

Very good tutorial and easy to understand. Do you ever find that the stitching in between the blocks are weak? Sometimes on my quilts you can see through the stitching. Am I doing something wrong?

I love how easy this pattern is. I have done a similar one before. It's nice if you have the special acrylic squares that you were using, seems to eliminate a lot of measuring. Please add a note at end of your video of the outer and inner measurements of your tool. That way those of us who don't have this tool, but do have high grade self healing mats, Omnigrid rulers, Gingher scissors, and ergonomic rotary cutters, we could use your pattern and all the wonderful techniques you showed without having to ad more tools to our sewing room! Thanks!

Hi Leigh Ann; It would be nice if the sizes were given. It looks like the outside square is two inches bigger than the inside square. That gives a one inch border all the way around. Even with a small square, you would need that one inch border in order to do the folding method shown here. I could not find the dimensions given in this video, so if we want one the same size, I guess we will have to put out the cash for the pattern. I am sure my local hardware store can cut a couple of pieces of plexi-glass for me, if I ask. One large and one small will work for me. You have to put their small batting buddy square inside the larger "frame" for stability anyway.

Nice video Thank you so much!

This would also be excellent to make a rag quilt. Use large square to cut front and back and inner square to cut batting or flannel. Sew a 'X' across the sandwich only where the batting or flannel is, then sew the outer material together to form a seam, all on one side or the other, then snip the seams close to the sewing line. Wash several times and you have a rag quilt.

I’ve made several quilt tops & had to pay for quilting. I’m anxious to try QAYG.

@Junctionfabric

9 жыл бұрын

Sue Ames To add the borders, trim the backing fabric off of the quilt top so that the edges are the same. Measure the sides and cut the length and width of the fabric (1 for backing & 1 for the top) and batting that you need. To sew, layer the following in this order, backing (right side up), quilt(face up) and top border (wrong side up). Sew 1/4" seam allowance. Press the border fabrics away from the quilt top. Place the batting in between the added border fabrics, snug up to the seam allowance and pin. Repeat for the other side. Measure the top & bottom and repeat. Quilt the new border to keep the batting from shifting, then bind. Have fun finishing your quilt.

Great instructions, thank you. Two questions: is it better to sew the squares together for as wide as you want the quilt and then sew the rows together ( make 1 long binding) or in 4 squares at a time? Second question, where can I buy the tool you used? I checked amazon. Thanks again.

Sometimes I sew a row of squares together and then cut my backing fabric the length of the row. I then connect rows together. The quilt I am making now has four rows.

I have a question on the piecing: you said stop your stitching before the edge of the batting. Do you back stitch at the end of each seam? Bc your thread tails will show on the back and might unravel. Thanks.
