I trim the batting to the seam line so I don't have batting in the seams. I join the front of the quilt blocks right side together. Then I join the seams on the back with a hand sewn blind stitch. My final quilting is to quilt in the ditch for all the seams. It takes a little longer with the hand sewing but I like the looks of the finished quilt.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17161067326094309365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701098836147116546.post-81956647406989127272022-04-21T17:49:56.258-05:002022-04-21T17:49:56.258-05:00Great idea! 💜Great idea! 💜Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03340472445619594881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701098836147116546.post-63167175952629365212022-01-16T21:34:21.716-06:002022-01-16T21:34:21.716-06:00Great tips and a your quilt is adorable. I’m curio...Great tips and a your quilt is adorable. I’m curious if you were using a rotary cutter or scissors for your cutting and trimming. A rotary cutter can cut several layers at a time and usually causes less fatigue on wrists and elbows. <br />One method I like is to layer all three layers at once: backing, batting and front, with the batting cut to fit just inside the seam line. All your quilting then goes through all three layers at once, without any bulk from seam allowances. Truly QAYG, as each block is literally a mini quilt! Then the blocks are assembled WRONG sides together and the seam allowances are clipped rag style. This requires larger seam allowances, but eliminates extra trimming, pressing, the second round of quilting, puckers on the back, and the need for binding!jenny piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495602432336927585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701098836147116546.post-28998387065669020292022-01-16T01:11:53.920-06:002022-01-16T01:11:53.920-06:00We Provide Professional & Insured Moving, Pack...We Provide Professional & Insured Moving, Packing, Relocation,<br />Removals, International Freights,& Storage Services in dubai.<br /><a href="https://lmovers.ae/en/movers-in-dubai/" rel="nofollow">Movers in dubai</a><br /><a href="https://lmovers.ae/en/movers-in-ajman/" rel="nofollow">Movers in ajman</a><br /><a href="https://lmovers.ae/en/movers-in-sharjah/" rel="nofollow">Movers in sharjah</a><br /><a href="https://lmovers.ae/en/movers-in-fujairah/" rel="nofollow">Movers in fujairah</a><br /><a href="https://lmovers.ae/en/movers-in-al-ain/" rel="nofollow">Movers in al ain</a><br /><a href="https://lmovers.ae/en/movers-in-abu-dhabi/" rel="nofollow">Movers in abu dhabi</a><br /><a href="https://lmovers.ae/en/movers-in-ras-al-khaimah/" rel="nofollow">Movers in ras al khaimah</a><br /><a href="https://lmovers.ae/en/movers-in-umm-al-quwain/" rel="nofollow">Movers in umm ul quain</a><br />نقل اثاث دبيhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16806074426291449487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701098836147116546.post-87694071481122438662021-12-28T07:45:35.005-06:002021-12-28T07:45:35.005-06:00I don't like that either!

Made it difficult to quilt through 4 layers. Next one I will quilt the backing to additional batting first and then attach. <br />Laurie Larrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985772290236837325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701098836147116546.post-21776655983870346392021-08-27T07:07:28.910-05:002021-08-27T07:07:28.910-05:00I find it best to make quilts for QAYG method with...I find it best to make quilts for QAYG method with 1/2 inch seam allowances. This change makes joining quilted blocks a lot easier and, ironically, makes it easier to deal with the bulk at the seams as long as you press the seams open. Also, another option with this method is, before quilting, to divide your quilt top into sections and then piece and quilt each section instead of each block. If it is a simple repeating block as in a traditional quilt design, divide the quilt top into 3 or 4 sections, QAYG each section, then join the sections as you would individual blocks as seen in this video. This makes for much less basting and fewer seams to match up. Again I use 1/2 inch seams BETWEEN sections, with traditional 1/4 inch seams WITHIN the sections. If your quilt top is not of a tradition repeating design, it can often be divided into sections according to the design of the top. Sections do not have to be of equal size. (No one will know you did it in sections.) Size is determined by the overall design of the top and what the particular design makes possible. For larger quilts, I try to choose or create designs that lend themselves to being divided up in this fashion because I SO hate quilting large quilt sandwiches on my small machine. Sometimes you can tweak the design to make this procedure possible.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207166466033230721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701098836147116546.post-65192436350413667892021-06-24T11:03:01.242-05:002021-06-24T11:03:01.242-05:00I notice you said that you cut your batting bigger...I notice you said that you cut your batting bigger than the block. So you DON'T quilt near the edges? That gives you the 1/4 allowance to join the pieces together? I'm new to quilting and I do know about the knees and back so I do want to give this a go. Just making sure of everything. I did a few rags quilts but you cut the batting smaller than the block so there is plenty of room for the seam.
