I've made > 6 QAYG, for kids. I used a slightly different technique in each one. Kids don't care which technique I used so I had great practice on the methods. All of them were string quilts, with many kid-friendly prints.
I am glad you produced this tutorial. I had trouble with rows and asked for your help and here it is! I actually stopped my seams about an inch from the edge on subsequent rows after I realised I couldn't 'flip and pin'. My finished quilt looks good. Thank you for your tutorial.
Thanks Nancy - I prefer PHD project half done - I started a quilt with sun bonnet Sue for my daughter about 30 years ago - which I am now finishing for my granddaughter - I’ve about 5 quilts halfway and loads of ideas for new projects in the planning - I’m not stressed about finishing them at the moment - I have finished loads of quilts - I sew and quilt on my domestic machine - the biggest quilt I’ve made was a Bargello quilt that was about 2.5 x 2.5 (it just grew) I quilted it on a ELNA 240 - I visited my son in UK for about 3 months and made it to keep myself busy. Never had all my gadgets that I have at home that I have to have, but he got his long awaited Bargello (about 10 years of nagging mom) Happy quilting and once again thanks love your videos 🧵
I have four UFOs. One is second quilt. I started watching a tutorial and learned about 1/4 inch seams. And I was discouraged . So I justice stopped. I am self taught. I have made many sience then. Thanks for teaching us so much.
I only do QAYG as I have a shoulder issue, and this video has great methods for me to use. Thanks so much. By the way, I am down to only 1 UFO and I have plans for it very soon. Nancy, I just used your method and I realize I was doing extra and unnecessary work. Can't thank you enough.😍😍
I have some UFOs BUT....I came up with a nifty project to use them! When my dear husband went to the nursing home, I started sleeping in a twin bed (to mitigate the loneliness) A year later I've completed a gorgeous lone star quilt for it and came up with the brilliant idea to make a dust ruffle out of the UFOs....kinda a sampler ruffle LOL.
I have 4 UFOs, umm, make that 5. 2 of them are practice tops from when I first started quilting. I'm going cut them up and turn them into pet beds and donate to the shelter. I'm waiting to collecting enough scraps from my other projects to stuff them. I wished I would have known about trimming back the batting a couple of years ago. It would have made things a lot easier. Thanks for this tip :)
are awesome , but I would like to do a contemporary layout, the Fields and Furrows in the quilt in a day book with Black and White. Will this technique work for my layout???
I have not counted by UFO's. I don't have the nerve. LOL I do know I have 10 tops ready to be quilted at least. I stopped checking my totes when I found 10. And then there are numerous BOM's that were started and have not been all pieced yet. Ouch! This year I decided to finish 1 UFO at least per month. I did manage to do 2 in January. Now that it's February, I'll pull out another to be quilted and one that needs the piecing to be completed. And this is a short month. Wish me luck.
Not sure how many ufo's I have, I don't like to have to many, I like to get them done, I treat them like children, if something happens to me, what will happen to them....lol....I have a few I wasn't that fussy about after I did them, so I use then for learning fmq....
