This is a great way to use scraps! I have done things like this many times, but with one difference, I start with a common strip in the middle of the block and add to each side. When you do this, you can make an entire quilt top which will be very scrappy, with the one common element being the same central strip. Then, I piece the blocks together making the central strips creating an “x”. This creates a larger block which can then be made into any size quilt you want. It uses a lot of scraps!!!
I am really impressed with you. You look very young, and you said you didn’t have that much experience with quilting, but I’ve watched two of your videos and each one taught me something really valuable. Please keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you.
Hi! I've never seen this method of joining the blocks together for quilt as you go. I like it. I have four large blocks that I will quilt individually, then join them. I may try this method. Thank you, Sandy. Nov. 17, 2024. It's rainy here in Oregon. Usual weather for November. Marion
Thanks for sharing! (Please do not apologize about the noise you hear from your neighborhood. We don’t live in a vacuum, and I’m glad to be able to hear the noise
Please do entire quilt along sew as you go. I have been doing speciality single blocks and I think this would be awesome for them as they are not all the same size. Maybe you could address this also
I just found your videos. Really enjoyed watching this one. Yes I’d love to see the whole quilting process. Would also like to know how much material that would be needed. This is new to me. Thank you so much
Thank you and welcome! The amount of material depends on the final size you have in mind, I always prefer to do smaller pieces to make it easier to filme but all the projects can be adapted to whatever size you prefer.
Yes,,this is something I have not done in my quilting journey of 10 to 12 years and I love to learn new quilty stuff,Thank you for your time,and I may just jump in and try one myself. May God Bless❤
My first visit and really enjoyed your tutorial! I hadn'tr thought of using different backings so that the backside would be super scrappy too; and yes, I would very much like to see these done into a full quilt. Thank you for sharing in such an entertaining way. :)
Great tutorial and I love this idea of QAYG... but I have this problem of wanting things equally measured and symmetrical😅. I'm sure you heard me gasp when you started the second block and you were casually cutting the pieces with scissors and no exact measurements 😂😂😂! Yes, I would like to see you do one for an entire quilt. I'm new to quilting and I've not completed a quilt before so it will be a great learning process and experience for me.
yes i'd like you to make a complete qayg quilt like this! Especially how you did the last block joining. I have Splendid Sampler quilts I need to join and want to do a qayg but am too scared to start. I may join 4 of the blocks together with sashing and cornerstones first then make it as qayg with the other blocks that are in quadrants if you know what i mean.
Okay, I'll look into that for sure, because I had so much fun with this video! I know all about being scared to start but, quite honestly, every time I've been too scared to do something and then just went ahead and did it, it was ALWAYS worse in my head. And funny you should mention that because my next video is about a quilt block I was terrified to try again and decided it was time to give it another try! Have a great week!
This was my first visit to your channel. I enjoy sewing. I haven't made a quilt in awhile though...but, after watching this video, which was so interesting, I'm very much inspired. Thanks you for sharing ❤️
Oh, how I wish I had bags and bags of scraps! I have little more than a shoebox full, which is way too little to do anything thing with. Heavy sigh. Love what you are accomplishing, though
The noise can’t be heard. Beside all that is not your fault.keep on quilting I enjoy your videos. Your inspirational to me. I have disabled and can’t cut a long line so you are helping me doing the active I love.
Hi guys. Let's quilt as we go!! I've been meaning to try it for ages and today is the day! Give it a try and let me know how it went. Enjoy, Sandy
I love your bracelets.
@@carolinebrock6311 thank you 🥰
I haven't done FMQing yet. This is a great way to FMQ, rather than waiting until the full quilt is made for us beginners 💞
I hope you give it a try, it's fun and practical 😁
Yes I’d love seeing whole quilt made

Sounds so cool! Can't wait to experiment a bit more with it!
Do you use the same color strip from the middle to put it together?
@@traceyfinch2615 yes, I did but you don't have to, if you prefer to mix it up it will look great too!
I am really impressed with you. You look very young, and you said you didn’t have that much experience with quilting, but I’ve watched two of your videos and each one taught me something really valuable. Please keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you.
Thank you so much 😊
Yessss I would love to watch you do a whole quit as you go quit. I really enjoy your videos ❤😂
Thank you. I'll add it to the list 😃

Hi. Will do, thank you. That's actually a great challenge, I'll have to look into different sized quilt blocks 😁
Really good tutorial! Thanks

Hehehe I totally get it but I'm the complete opposite, I like the beauty in chaos 🤣🤣🤣 happy holidays
Great video. Can’t wait to try it. I’ve always wanted to try quilt as u go but didn’t know where to start. Thanks for a great video.
Let me know if you try it! 😁
Yes, I'd like to see a whole quilt done.

Thanks for your informative video! Im so far behind on quilting my tops!
Yeah, the WIP pile of shame, I know exactly how that's like... 😀
This has been excellent. I bring my tops to quilter, so this will be great to do it all myself!! Great job
Thank you!! Yes, this will make it so much easier to do it yourself!
This was my first visit to your channel. I enjoy sewing. I haven't made a quilt in awhile though...but, after watching this video, which was so interesting, I'm very much inspired. Thanks you for sharing ❤️
Welcome Vivian, I'm so happy I helped inspire you! My work here is done! Hehehe
Just found you a few days ago, really enjoyed the video. Would one to see a whole quilt done that way.
Thank you! It's definitely on my to do list 😄
This makes soooo much sense thank you❤
Hiya from South Greenland! Enjoyed the video! The quilt is beautiful!
Thank you, how's the weather in Greenland? 😄
@@seweasybysandy warm and beautiful ;)
Thank you for your video!
How’d do you sew them together 😊without getting the batting in the seams?
😊Yes. Do an entire quilt along, sew as you go❤
Hi Melissa, sounds like a plan! 😁
I am making a quilt as you go using 6" blocks using your first version.
That's awesome! Let me know how it went 😁
Please do one entire quilt.
Will do! 😁
Yes that would be great. I found this easy to follow
Great! 😁
Do you use a special stitch in the ditch presser? I sometimes find it hard to follow the seams
I don't but the walking foot can be very useful for that.
Oh, how I wish I had bags and bags of scraps! I have little more than a shoebox full, which is way too little to do anything thing with. Heavy sigh. Love what you are accomplishing, though
Heheh. I would totally send them to you if shipping wasn't so expensive 🤣🤣🤣 thank you 🥰
Would like to do a baby quilt version
sounds cute 😀
The noise can’t be heard. Beside all that is not your fault.keep on quilting I enjoy your videos. Your inspirational to me. I have disabled and can’t cut a long line so you are helping me doing the active I love.
I'm so happy to hear that, thank you 🥰
Yes please
😁
yes please
Do you use a walking foot for QAYG blocks?
I didn't for this one but I will next time I try it, it should help stabilize the layers better.
Pls do so. I would watch
New subscriber tyvm ❤
Welcome!! 😀
Love your channel, and cannot hear any think in the back ground of your vid :}
Thank you 😊
I would Love to do a GAYG sew along with you.
Let's do it!
You never show how you put the blocks together, please show
Can’t hear anything only music
No it takes too much time and the straightness of your blocks sewn together is off end result less than desirable even for a beginner like me dorry😊😊😊
