    Quilt as you go is the only way to go. I’ve made 7 or 8 big quilts using your method of connecting them. I looked at a dozen or more other methods and yours was the only one that I like. Other methods are great for other people but this just makes sense to me. When I’ve given my quilts to the person I made it for they can’t believe I did all of the quilt on my home machine. I don’t think I will ever be interested in free motion quilting. I feel it is WAY above my skill level. I love piecing and designing my blocks so much. That is where my joy comes from. Free motion quilting and all that would probably reduce me to a puddle of tears. 😉😉. Thank you MSQC for all you do for us out here in quilt land! Everyone of you is a treasure.

    I decided at the last minute to make myself a memory quilt of my final 5th grade class, I was preparing to retire after 34 years of teaching. I had my students draw self portraits on 5 inch squares. I used this method and was very pleased with the results and I was able to finish it it time to show my class before school ended.

    So glad I found this tutorial, I was given a tote of material from a cousin who lost her mom and she didn't sew so wanted me to have it. Little did she know that her mom had made 20 butterfly blocks all hand sewn on. I wanted to do some quilting on them but want to keep all the hand stitching, anyway wasn't sure how to connect the blocks now I have the perfect plan. My sewing machine has a short throat so hard to quilt anything too big and have good results. I am going to put it all together and give to her as a surprise gift. Thank you!

    Having sewn for 62 years (my Mom showed me the basics when I was 9!) I just began trying my hand at quilting a little while ago. My machine is not a long arm, so I pretty much dreamed up the same idea as quilting as you go. Now that I have youtube and can see tutorials, I'm learning SO many tricks! Your work is amazing and so easy to follow. Thank YOU so much for sharing your knowledge.

    I'm so shocked because I have wondered for years how one could possibly 'quilt by the block' but no one has ever shown me how and I'm a show me person. Thank you so much! Now I have bunches of quilt tops that are sewn together and I'm wishing I could do them by the block!!!

    5:14 “Aren’t they so cute?!” That part really made me chuckle, I love the way you can’t stop talking about how cute they are. That’s was the exact moment I hit the like button.

  • @cdcrady
    @cdcrady 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, This is the easiest method for quilt as you got that I have seen so far! You don't have to mess with little pieces of batting or separate sashing. Not as much bulk either. I am in the process of making quilt as you go blocks using my grandsons 1st year clothes and I didn't want to mess with all of the bulk of the clothing and then have to cut little batting pieces and sashing pieces. I will reference this method as I go. Thanks again Jeni for another awesome video!

  • @beaconvenom

    I just want to say a massive thank you from South Wales (UK), I signed up with a local charity (Project Linus) to make blankets and Quilts for children in need. I signed up thinking I'll do knitted blankets etc as I'd never quilted.
    The group showed me some basics to get me started which was great but when you're trying to do 72" square quilts on a Brother LS14 in your bedroom and the table is barely bigger than your sewing machine (my A3 self healing cutting mat does fit flat on it but my A4 one does to give hint as to size) things get really difficult real quick. Especially binding by folding over the edges so the corners are about an inch thick lol.
    Your tutorials have really helped me clean up the quilts to look more "competent hobbyist" less "first time on a sewing machine" and now this quilt as you go (and I've looked at about 30 tutorials and I could not get my head around them) has really made this so much more simple. Thank you so much :)

  • @kaybaertlein541
    @kaybaertlein541 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This has proven to be one of best techniques ever! I have done quite a few quilts using this method of quilting and joining. It even works well for larger quilts too. It is easy fast and so much fun that before you really realize it you are putting the final row on and finishing the bottom. It totally eliminates the normal bulk and crowding that you normally would have trying to machine quilt on a home machine. Totally doable.

    I just ran across this video and am so excited. I have some old tea towels that are worn out and I couldn't throw them out. I am going to trim out the embroidered area and do this with them. A few are very thin so I will try using some lightweight interfacing on them first. Thank you for an idea to save my grandma's handy work.

I will be able to do many more quilts thanks to you!

    So glad I found this video! I have two sets of flour sack towels gifted to me by my mother that my grandmother and great-aunt embroidered many years ago. They are well used (much to my mother's dismay) and I think this would be a great way to preserve the embroidery designs on them. Thanks so much for the tutorial!

    I'm really glad for this tutorial because I've dabbled in numerous needle arts over the last 10 years or so, located an iron on embroidery pattern of the Statue of Liberty. I got about halfway through with it and put it down; now I'm motivated to pick it up again and include it in either a lap quilt or a wall hanging using the method shown here. Thank you!

    omgoosh, I have a stash of antique hand embroidery items I've been saving, from pillow cases, table cloths, tea towels flat sheets and aprons. I just think of the old days where women spent countless hours on their craft. I see it as a tribute to a dying art and the women behind the needles. Ty again for your video.

    Thank you so very very much. I have gorgeous embroidered squares 5hat have been quilted and I had no clue how I was going to put them together. You are a lifesaver. 😘 I’d got into a twist about backing it as it’s going to be a wall hanging and for the life of me I got it into my head that I’d need to mitre every single corner. You’ve shown me how wrong I am and that I don’t need to mitre each corner. Thank you.

    @dianachristian8225 8 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    I have used this method for a lot of my quilts that are larger than a full size. I don't have to wrestle with trying to quilt it.. It's fun, easy and instantly borders and sets apart each block. One added suggestion, before the blocks are joined, now would be a good time to practice your free motion skills as the blocks are small and easy to manipulate in any free motion capable machine. Thanks for all your fantastic tips and tricks. Have a fantastic New Year and see you in 2017.

    Oh, this is brilliant. I have a gazillion owl quilt blocks to cross stitch and didn't know how I was going to put them together. This would be perfect!

    Love this idea Jenny! I am doing a butterfly quilt using a quilt my Mother made me when I was a baby as a template. I may be creating work for myself but I would have taken white strips and sewed them to all four sides of your blocks to make the block a bit bigger then continued on as you did for the rest of the block. That was you don't loose any of the pretty embroidery. Thanks for another great tutorial! Happy New Year to you and your family!

      + Linda Daley - Yup, white strips or even colored/print ones from that 1930's line even as off-centered sashing or a method called "Coping Strips" or "wonky" coping strip method to square up each block the same size and then continue with this Fun and Done method of QAYG. But by all means, preserve and enjoy the beauty of those embroidered blocks someone spent so much time on in their hand stitching! I bet they'd be tickled pink to find out Jenny had rescued them and used them in a wall quilt for thousands of people on YT and her home (or someone else's) to view. If only she (he?) had also embroidered their initials on each block, that mysterious or historical person might also be discovered and recognized for their dedicated efforts.

    This makes so much sense! I have seen other methods and they are quite cumbersome when you are joining the blocks, but this looks great!

    I just love to see you making these small quilts. I bought about 12 squares with printed Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit pictures. They have a decent border around each one but I thought I would use your method to make a small quilt so thank you for your helpful tutorial. Jenny Cross (UK). I'm very new to quilting and I'm enjoying finding out different ideas. Thank you x

    Thanks so much for this tutorial! I have never (sewn) quilted anything before and this is exactly what I needed to make my Christmas quilted place mats!
    Yay! You are a life saver!!
