My New Favorite Quilt as You Go Method! No Sashing! No Handsewing! Super Easy!

Looks like a really good method for baby quilts and picnic quilts that will need to be washed.

serger stitches with two needles and seals the edges after cutting the fabric with the overcast stitch. 😊

I think this is so smart, thank you for sharing. I love it 😊

Can this method be used for a t-shirt quilt?

Thank you so much for this!!! I am a beginning quilter who is 100% self taught/mad sewer. I have 2 blankets I started making blocks for. Now the projects have gotten too big if I sew the blocks together to quilt. I don't have patience for sashing. This is a method I can 100% use for both and I think they will look great now. I had decided to abandon them but now I want to try this. Again thank you!

I am late to the party, but I will try this method! Having made several QAYG quilts with sashing it is not easy keeping the sashing straight on larger quilts, guaranteed somewhere there will be a shift. I would guess as far as the added bulk in the seam it would be similar to adding two-sided sashings. Thank you from Ohio!

Aways an adventure! I haven't used this method but have made 3 QUAG quilts.

Thank you for this video. I'm so glad I found it. I was getting discouraged with my quilts and struggling with the joining-with-strips method. Thank you, again!!

If you just leave the edges loose and extra fabric, you can do a frankenbatting join and then add the top and bottom layers. With the batting not folded it's still show-worthy.

You are a genius 🎉

Love this method! I haven't seen this before; what I love is the simplicity. I'll be using a zig zag stitch. Can't wait to try it!

Thanks!

This is such a great method! Thank you for sharing.

THANK YOU! I've tried Quilt as you go before and absolutely HATED making all those little sashing strips. This is such a great way to do it. I'm thinking of getting a panel and quilting it, then adding several borders around it using your method. Great way to quickly make donation quilts.

Totally psyched to try. Thanks a million.

So what you are doing is making a quilt with vast spaces of plain material?

Well, I like your style of quilting. Really like the circle panel.

Brilliant method! It’s the only qayg method I’ve seen that I would actually try. Thanks!

I have used this method. I really like it.

Oooh definitely going to try this.

I'm new to quilting and only want to do QAYG, have been trying to figure out how to QAYG an existing pattern (that is not QAYG but is in blocks) without changing the pattern's measurements. This might be THE way! So, I'll have blocks with applique on them, and that's the front. Follow pattern instructions for all those first, then add each square one at a time, layering as I go like you did here, quilt it, and then add the next one .... this should be my answer. (The pattern I'm looking at is WallFlower at Missouri Star Quilt, which uses 10" layer cakes for the blocks/applique).

I tried asking in a FB group and I got "there's lots of YT videos" and that was it. Everything I saw was "I designed this QAYG pattern....", when what I wanted was to use an existing pattern I like without screwing up measurements or having to add sashing. But, here you are, I found you, and I think I'll practice this a bit. Thank you!

Thanks for this idea! Love it.

I have been looking for a way to do a crazy crumb quilt as I go where I dont have use sashing or make individual squares, and have straight lines that go all the way vertical and horizontal and this could potentially solve that!!

Still the best method ever. Thank u.

The best method ever. Thank u. Love it

I would like to try it, bit unsure that it would work as a bigger quilt as you would still be hauling a big quilt through the machine. Is it necessary to use the overlocking stitch?

I am excited too.Just what I was looking for! Best QAYG. Only thing I'd do different would be to cut batting 1/4 " smaller to eliminate bulky , stiff seam. I'll use adhesive spray or clips to keep in place. Thanks for taking time to do video

Hi

OH MY GOSH!!! This is brilliant!!! I've only made two QAYG and I did those in columns... but I honestly loveee this method!! Thank you sooo much!!! Hugs from Ontario, Canada

Wow love this idea ! I am definitely going to try this out ! Thanks for sharing this !

What if you add the top and bottom piece and then lay in the batting? When you quilt, it will hold it in place and maybe won't have bulk at the seam.

If you put the time and love into a quilt for someone they should not worry about a seam being a scouch thicker. I think you did great. I now have a new method so I don't have to use sashings which look like a window

Hi Kristin, sooo I went to my fabric store and there's no way I could afford the price of batting now! Are they crazy?! Soo, I'm thinking of using white flannel for the batting. I use to use flannel for making diapers way back in the day, but even that was expensive now. Luckly I have flannel to use. What do you think? I should be able to use this method still right?

Fabulous….to reduce bulk….trim the batting, then sew the seam! I’m going to give this a try!

Easy is good and not having to hand stitch is great, so thank you! Thank you, also for the time markings so that I can review part by part as I need to. Your directions were clear and helpful.

The idea is good. and I want to give it a try. If you are joining actual blocks, am I right to assume you have to have extra "margin" on each side so you can join and then trim without affecting the design within the block?

the baby quilt is awesome i love the colors!! great work!

WOW!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! THIS is exactly what I was looking for! Bless you!! BIG hugs from Texas!! 🤠🤠💖💖

This is so much easier for people who can't handle huge bundles of fabrics. Thank you!!

Love thank you!

Thank you. I really like this method. I tried for the first time yesterday, but I've made a mistake I think. The first "column" I did I was trying another method that required folding a seam in the back where the blocks were attached. I did leave a good seam open to attach another "column", but it looks like I'm going to have to deal with folding in a back seam. The next time I try this method I will start off the way you show here. The way you're showing us is so much neater than that fold over seam in the back.

I just love this method ! I want to try this with a small pc like you did for the center. Then I was thinking of using 2.5” strips from a jelly roll to go around it like the log cabin block. I have a bunch of rolls of 2.5” batting I need to use up. I would cut the strip of the jelly roll, backing, & the strip of the batting roll longer like you did. Do you think this would ok ? 😊

I love this method. I will use it for sure.

Still the best method. Just watched again. Thank u so much from South Africa 🌍

I love it

I’ve just tried this in the last few days and I love it. I used to get pain between the shoulders blades from the stress of trying to ditch stitch and happy to say I didn’t get it with the wavy line. Love it.

Walking foot .

Thanks!

please keep your camera still.... I felt sick at the beginning with the in and out. Thankyou love the commentary

Have you used this method before? What did you like or not like about it? I'd love to know!
