No one else has mentioned it, so I may be wrong, but I think in step #3, it should be the BACK binding, not the top binding in the two places where I have it capitalized here:<br />Lay the BACK binding on your table with the raw edges facing the RIGHT. Lay Piece A with the raw edges matching up with the raw edges of the BACK binding. Lay the TOP binding strip on top of this stack. Hold them together or pin as needed to get to your machine.<br /><br />The picture is clear, but the text doesn't match.<br /><br />Thanks again!

I've made one baby quilt, and by the time I finished it the child used it for her dolls. lol Now I'm attempting a full size quilt for my granddaughter, so I figure the QAYG method would be a better choice. <br /><br />Connecting the quilted blocks has always been a problem for me. I've been afraid to use the sashing method, as I thought it would be so much more time consuming, and more difficult. But after watching your video, I'm thinking of changing my mind about it. I'm going to give it a try, but I'm still a little leary. Wish me luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546214170177582214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-77311656487195348792012-02-21T09:50:16.334-05:002012-02-21T09:50:16.334-05:00This is a wonderful tutorial, I have tried this in...This is a wonderful tutorial, I have tried this in the past with no success ,ather watching this I think I can do it now , Thanks Leah.

My dad made a quilt (which he continues to maintain is the only one he'll ever make!) in which he quilted each block separately and then attached them together. I had always wondered how he accomplished this, and now I bet you've just shown me!Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092945568540954059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-18157338323591026532012-02-15T16:01:17.538-05:002012-02-15T16:01:17.538-05:00Thank you for showing us how you do this :-))))Thank you for showing us how you do this :-))))2nehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805641614372875054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-88524419287914837412012-02-15T15:57:55.166-05:002012-02-15T15:57:55.166-05:00This looks like fun - but my practice pieces are g...This looks like fun - but my practice pieces are going to make a seriously weird quilt!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11603126077385854963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-6995835443771229272012-02-15T15:44:57.812-05:002012-02-15T15:44:57.812-05:00Juliana Lund asked about using wider strips for bo...Juliana Lund asked about using wider strips for borders, etc. that is exactly what I did with the quilt I made. I used a triple zigzag stitch at it's widest with thread that coordinated with the fabric for sewing down the folded piece and it blended right in.Moonwisheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171117321017923042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-41954988122847552802012-02-15T15:42:23.541-05:002012-02-15T15:42:23.541-05:00Leah, I've been hearing about you and your gre...Leah, I've been hearing about you and your great quilting information for awhile now on the Horizon digest. Today, being a sick day for me :( I finally had some time to pop in to see what your videos and courses are all about. I hope you will forgive me, but I wanted to encourage your readers/watchers to see what is possible with the quilt as you go technique and so posted the picture of the queen sized quilt I made and finished in December 2011 using this same technique. I could have never done it without it being in sections and the quilt as you go is a great technique! I have much more to learn and practice as soon as my arthritis leaves me alone for awhile, but I do greatly appreciate your tutorials!Moonwisheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171117321017923042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-67181509455302766122012-02-15T14:21:47.813-05:002012-02-15T14:21:47.813-05:00I have read a lot about this method but never full...I have read a lot about this method but never fully understood until I saw your video.

I wonder if making the binding between the pieces wider, like 2-3" then adding a strip of batting between you could then quilt that too like it was a border. I think the hand piecing looks neater but the machine finishing is so much faster. Maybe if I zig-zagged both sides it would look more intentional...so many ideas to try! Thanks you for these videos.Julliana Lundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06641293054377928749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-88645788118406550642012-02-15T11:58:45.968-05:002012-02-15T11:58:45.968-05:00What a great, helpful video!
