Love your supervisor!!

[@carolinewijnen8277]

Thank you very much for the clearly explaining of this technique. I am just a beginner with quilting so I have to learn a lot and your video's are very interesting for me.

[@marleneahibbard]

Thanks so much. ❤

[@AnnieBarentine]

Finally!! A wonderful easy to understand way to do this. Great explanation, this newbie quilter can now join those together with confidence. My fof( fear of failure) level was quite pronounced!

[@AnnieBarentine]

Salem made me smile!! Thanks for a great tutorial also😬👍

[@winnepeterson7740]

Love having the lovely cat there!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Me too!

[@verajamieson8020]

Love your sewing partner,quality control.I am a beginner ,so find your videos very helpfull.🙏🏻☘️🇮🇪👏👏🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛😊

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Thank you so much!

[@helenpeddycord2241]

Great demo of QAYG blocks Kim! Love the Seam align glue💕🧵

[@jeanielipskey1272]

I was wondering how the quilt as you go blocks would go together. How neat. I'm sure I'll have to watch a couple of times til I get it down! LOL

[@robertastewart2083]

Thanks for showing your method of joining blocks -I like that the second strip is not folded as is usual because the seam is not as thick.

[@noranevers]

Love the kitty

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Me too!

[@cherrygingham]

I'm a Janome user and I use the HP2 foot for joining my quilt as you go blocks. It works perfectly with this joining technique.

[@iviolanti6836]

Thank you for sharing. I am a newbie to quilting and found it is a lot easier doing QAYG. I just needed ideas on how to stitch them together🤓

[@sewterie]

Thank you Kim. It is a good method to use. Makes me less afraid of making a quilt knowing that I can use QAYG.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You are so welcome!

[@zekitty1]

I love your helper. 😻

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Me too! Just one of 3 in the studio.

[@jhr1756]

Thank you! 🌹❤️

[@dcatweaver]

This was one of the very easiest methods I have seen. Thank you.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You're welcome!

[@Matty06001]

To me, this looks the best out of the other quilt as you go videos. So is there no way to do a quilt as you go without sashing?? I thought there was. I love your blocks too by the way!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Yes there is and I have a video on that too. You can find it at kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y33ZomeGi754Z6Msi=QvrFzu6sGXJMd7Lz

[@FabShabbyRose]

I love this! I wondered how to do this! Love your helper! So sweet!

[@mireadossantos4610]

I like that idea 😊

[@chikinrancher]

Oh My .. the CAT !!! I was so busy watching him/her I'm afraid I had trouble paying attention to you .. what is his/hers name .. a beautiful thing it is :0)

[@Chatterboxquilts]

That's Salem - and notice that we are dressed the same 😂. She is my son's cat but really my studio assistant.

[@chikinrancher]

@@Chatterboxquilts Love it .. give Salem an extra pat for me .. :0)

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Will do! 🐈‍⬛

[@bethkoch11]

It's great to have a helper! I love QAYG, and this method of sewing the blocks together is the best as far as I'm concerned. After you've sewn the block, in order to sew the rows, I'm assuming you make a long strip the width of the quilt to secure those rows?

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Yes, you'd be doing the same method just with one long piece of fabric.

[@shireetropix6360]

I've always wondered why it's not done the opposite way so that the front is properly seamed and the back is topstitched. Is there a reason?

[@dahveedl3133]

At 7:20 you mention the stitching is not perfect but your not going to see that in the final product. How is that possible? The stitching is visible is it not? Just wondering as a new quilter. Thanks for posting.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

I was referring to the underside of the sashing. The top stitching looked good but where I folded it under - not as good but as it's on the bottom, you won't see it. Hope that explains it.

[@valeriehofmann2615]

The white is so hard to see

[@yolandabyrnes3136]

Can I used a wide strip for the sacking.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Do you mean use a wider strip than I used for the sashing? If so, the blocks wouldn't be right against each other and, as there is no batting in the sashing, it would just be 2 pieces of fabric on top of one another so I don't think that would work very well.

[@debragreenway1349]

Why not finish the top of the block first? Then you don’t have topstitching on the top.

[@Chatterboxquilts]

I've always done it the way I've shown so I'm not sure. If you did it the opposite way, you might see the topstitching that you've done on the back on the front. I've have to give it a try and see what the final result looks like.
