How to Quilt as You Go a Large Quilt (Queen Sized with No Hand-sewing!)

[@ScrapFabricLove]

What would you like to see me do more videos about?

[@lalagamma4452]

Anything you are always interesting and easy to follow. 🥰🐞🤗

[@lindadechow3703]

Would love to see how you back and quilt your foundation piecing. I have not had an opportunity to really search your channel yet and you may already have a video out there. I am going to try a quilt as you go with the backing as a border too, on the one I am working on. So it would be great to see what you do, too. Thank you for the share. Your quilt is a phenomenon! Absolutely one of the most beautiful quilts I have ever seen.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

@@lindadechow3703 I don’t know if I have a video that specifically shows the backing of my FPP…hmm…I’ll keep it in mind for future videos. One of my fleece back quilts used the backing as the border. That video is here: Using Fleece for Quilt Backing - My first 3 Linus Quilts! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWi3c4umr6esgck

[@gigiontube]

What about doing a small kaleidoscope, table top not a bed quilt.

[@bookbeing]

I think I would be happy to look at any of your projects. For me I love looking at unusual ways to do something And any large quilt making strategies. Baby quilts are so fun and sort of fast whereas these large quilts are a long term commitment and challenge. Your video here has helped me get unstuck. King sized quilts are really hard on so many levels. From foundation fabric, backing, piecing, patterning, assembling and keeping the (_@$$ thing square on all sides and straight and unpuckered when you start quilting the darn monster. An aging arthritic body and failing vision make for a slow going process.

[@ErieHuff-db3ug]

I truly appreciate you taking the time to share this. Your quilt is lovely. Thank you.

[@robinwright777]

Beautiful! I love that you are a "real" quilter lol Perfection is over-rated. Who cares that the back is two colours! ❤

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks!

[@normadurgin1906]

Now machine quilting a large quilt isn't so scary to me. Doing this in small manageable columns I think I can do. Thanks for sharing.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Fab! Best of luck with it! Thanks for watching!

[@momof2641]

It’s fantastic!! Thank you so much for sharing, your joining process is freaking genius! I’m definitely going to give this a try on my next one, I have been watching videos for QAYG forever and have never seen anyone join like this before. It looks a lot better and doesn’t look as confusing with a bunch of different steps. As far as the colors go I think that’s what makes quilts special and unique ❤️

[@Mahaodeh]

It’s so refreshing to see something that is excellent but not perfect, all those perfect quilts are very intimidating. This video made me think “oh, I can make one too”, rather than the usual “I don’t think I can do that”. The quilt is quite lovely. The back is not perfect but it’s acceptable. Thank you for the video.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks! That is the whole point of the channel but not everyone understands it 😂! I only started quilting during lockdown and I found too many videos felt a bit intimidating so I wanted to put a ‘confident beginner’ voice out there which is what I am and what I probably always will be. My stuff will never be perfect!

[@maryharris1111]

Thank you for taking the time to show how to sew the two top parts of quilt together and show how to cut the batting to fit inside. And then sew again on both sides of quilt. I'm going to try it on my king size quilt I'm making.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Good luck with your quilt!

[@lauraoneal5146]

Wow!! That turned out beautifully. Who cares is the navy’s on the back are different. I think that just adds to the unique way this quilt was made!! Great job! Love to see you work and see that I’m not the only one who says this can be done another way!!❤

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks so much!

[@cindyc4089]

Wow amazing. What a great job. It is nice to see the procedure at the end. So often people show how to put blocks together and tell you to just keep going to what ever size you need. I have made three king size quilts and it is not as easy as they show. AND you are a busy mom. Thank you for taking the time to share.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks so much! So glad you found it useful! Sometimes I think I overexplain!! 😂

[@catherineaschenbrenner6270]

I love this way of joining that’s how I’m going to do my kids quilts for Christmas. Thanks for the video

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Glad it was useful for you! Good luck with your quilt!

[@sandrahageman9955]

This is exactly what I has been looking for to help me quilt a king size quilt. Thank you.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

So glad it was helpful!

[@dawnesmith-sliming7004]

I’m in awe of the size of the beast! If I tried this the quilt would be smaller and I would probably find it easier to do 4 quarters rather than managing those long seams. I find some days I just don’t have what I call Long Seam Energy. Lol

[@ScrapFabricLove]

4 quarters is a good idea! Do whatever works for you I say!

[@winningnumbers]

Okay, I add batting and backing to each block as I go then simply attach them to each other with a zigzag stitch... boom... done. much easier!! instead of being on my hands and knees on all fours on the floor and you are blessed for having that amount of floor space anyway.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Interesting method. Mine was more for folk who want to disguise that they’ve done it qayg in a way I guess. There are so many methods - everyone can have a different favourite!

[@homesteaderfiftywmartha603]

I’m letting you show me the experiment!! I was contemplating this method!! 😍

[@magicalumbrella7151]

a stroke of genius doing the double quilting seam so the section joins wont show. Loved the video.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks so much!

[@alleybaxter]

Thank you. I love your quilt. I'm doing my first queen size quilt from a few old store bought comforter tops my husband and I had and scraps at home. I was worried I wasn't going to be able to sew something that big on the machine til I saw how you did yours.😊

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Good luck with your quilt!

[@sunseekerrs3087]

This turned out so pretty! Thank you for showing how to do a QAYG on a large quilt! There are videos showing how to join blocks, but very few on doing QAYG by row and hardly any that show how to do a large quilt.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks! So glad it was useful for you!

[@maritzajimenez2088]

I like to see quilting tutorials, thinking of starting one but was a bit intimidated until I saw your quilting skills. Gonna give it a try. Thanks

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Oh yeah! So glad you are going to try. Just remember it is all a learning experience and there is no need to be perfect!

[@robertaluckow5928]

Great idea. I am just learning the quilting process so I can do my own and not go to the long armer.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

There are tons of ways you can get it done on your home machine for sure! Good luck!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks! So glad you liked it! Best of luck with yours!

[@brittawrolson5936]

I’ve been doing large quilts like yours on my home machine, and it is definitely difficult. I prefer not to have sashing joints, so I do like you and find different ways to use straight line stitching. Depending on the quilt top design, I have done stitch in the ditch, diamond pattern from corner to corner, or I also like to do fancier quilting by using templates to quilt each block. Once done, I sew the blocks together, and then add backing by doing simple stitch in the ditch around blocks. This makes a nice grid on the back. Any way you do it, the large quilts are hard to muscle through the machine. Finished units are worth it though👍🏻🥰

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Yes it’s definitely a struggle! Takes a bit of creativity however you do it I think 😂. By the way I posted a more recent video about an 8th quilt as you go method that I didn’t know about when I was experimenting for this quilt . It’s here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ-lqJeKgdJnd9k

[@gigiontube]

Gorgeous quilt and I love your method of joining segments. It seems to be the easiest of all.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks! I actually found out about another method about a year after making this that I think is even easier - it’s here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ-lqJeKgdJnd9k

[@gigiontube]

@@ScrapFabricLove I saw that video too, but with that method the part you join is not quilted yet, it has to be quilted after being joined. In this video, both parts are quilted before being joined. So, it depends on each situation.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Yeah definitely depends on the project!

[@sandrabeacom7751]

Fabulous I liked the way you showed us how to make it to the very end Colours are beautiful 😍

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks so much!!

[@cherylross4238]

I do quilt as you go on most of my quilts because I want to do everything on ‘my’ quilts. But doing it on a regular machine is hard as a whole . Doing it in sections is easier but I do hand stitch the back. I enjoyed your quick video and getting on with how you did everything!!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks!!

[@conniethomson6266]

I absolutely love this method. I am trying it out on my quilt at the moment. Wish me luck.

Lots of great ideas here 🤩 You finished the quilt AND put a label on 👍👍 Thanks for posting so we can all try these techniques. It must be easier to quilt in sections rather than dragging a whole quilt backwards and forwards 👍👍 🇬🇧

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks! Yes these sections definitely made it easier! It is a huge quilt!

[@RKCALGARY]

Thank you for this. I will be using sashings to join but I was looking for instructions on how to join all the pre quilted blocks into a big quilt on a regular sewing machine. So basically the horizontal sashings would be short and joined together from top to bottom to form a long strip. Then the strips get joined together vertically with a long sashing and the completed work always to the left of the sewing machine. Makes sense.

[@bella-bee]

Looked like a beautiful tiled floor in a hallway when you laid out one strip. In UK Victorian houses they used encaustic tiles, just like that. Splendid!

[@patriciaboyd1199]

Good ideas. I want to make a bigger quilt but I don't have access to a long arm quilter so I' m always looking for quilt as you go ideas.
