Quilt as You Go-Log Cabin Rows

QAYG-Flip & Stitch Log Cabin: • Quilt as You Go-Stitch...
Nancy continues the Quilt As You Go Log Cabin. She did a previous LIVE about a Quilt as You Go Flip and Stitch Log Cabin block (click here to view the video: • Quilt as You Go-Stitch... ). This time she would like to show you how to put the rows together.
You'll need to move the backing fabric away from the batting on the back of the quilt. Sometimes one whole row will be free on the last logs of the log cabin blocks. But you'll most likely have to remove some stitches where the blocks are sewn together. After removing the stitches, Nancy hand stitches the seams back in. First she stitches the seam back in on the last log row including the batting. Then second, she hand stitches the seam of just the backing fabric layer. As she moves down the row, there is another seam. Nancy will also remove the stitches of this seam, go back again to hand stitch the log and batting seam together and then hand stitch the backing fabric seam like she did before. Now that all the backing fabric is moved back, she can position the rows on top of each other. She'll match the seams and put in lots of pins to keep the many layers together. Once the layers are pinned together, start sewing but put in a couple back stitches to help secure all the layers. Continue sewing a quarter inch from the edge with your walking foot and right over the pins. Keep in mind, this process can become quite heavy when you are sewing a larger quilt. Once you have sewn the layers together, take out all the pins and trim the quarter inch of batting away to have less bulk. Embroidery or duck-bill scissors work really well to do this. Remove the pins holding the backing fabric away from the batting, open it up and flip the quilt to the front side. Flip it again to the back. Nancy pulls the quilt toward her while pressing the seam. She gives the backing a burst of steam from her iron and presses the seam toward her. Take you time pressing. Fold over the backing fabric a quarter of inch to just cover the stitching. Pin in place and hand stitch. Continue this technique with the rest of the rows.
Thank you for watching this LIVE and all your comments! We love and appreciate the support!

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.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Your very welcome :)

Awesomeness

[@dianneshaddock]

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 🧵

[@suzannemyers4751]

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.

[@elaineadair]

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.

[@catherinecearns9002]

Hi Nancy I just love when watching “professionals” and they “err” as I then feel “normal” 💕💕

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

I understand, and feel the same way :)

[@karenpresley7101]

Thank you for showing this. I will have to do quilt as you go. I don't think my machine could handle a queen sized quilt. 😊

[@shirleykennard3571]

Thank you so much😊

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

You're welcome 😊

[@lizryan6289]

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.😍😍

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Your welcome! Nancy

[@juliariley3017]

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.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Great idea!

[@pugsmom1]

Thank you thank you thank you. This comes just in time to put my pineapple quilt together. The first one I've done using quilt as you go.

[@Trixy8521]

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 :)

[@lesliekisser3354]

I have two. Your video on double wedding ring got the third one I had done lol

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Excellent!

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

Nice finish, thanks for helping us out!

[@chantalida53]

Thank you so much for sharing, I love your tutorials.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Thanks!

[@conniekrinsky4756]

Christmas gifts got in the way of finishing my UFO's, but now I'm back at it. I have 3 quilts to finish on my long arm for up coming birthdays.

[@gloriaanncurwin7139]

I'm working on ONE quilt - ALL others are finished :):):) YAY ME !!!!!!!

[@brendafoley6995]

Thank you! Wonderful as usual! And I wrote all my UFO's down for my new years resolute. .I have 20!

[@kaybutcher5719]

👍❤️

[@asiahsheik2105]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@pennedahl4794]

I have been quilting four years and I have one ufo that I started in December 2019.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

That's impressive!

[@sandramoore4200]

I think about 5 right now

[@lindaparsons3356]

I have 2 UFOs. I started on them last year. My plan to finish them this year. I want to work on 2 more quilts.

[@jaynelewis19]

I have a few UFO’s and a couple of PHD’s (projects half done) !😊

[@kathywhiteley4313]

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???

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Yep, it will work, you just have to turn the blocks

[@shirleyporter7107]

4....trying to forget about them.🤪

[@kimburke3189]

If I count knitting and crochet along with the quilts it must be close to 20. I have been working on them however!!!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

20 not so bad

[@sheilaalls4767]

I know this don't apply to this video, but where could I find the designs for the bias strip designs? Sorry to be out of context.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

No problem Sheila, Here is the play list for the Quilted Tiles instructions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWTVZWSlbsephK8

[@carolbrumlow4395]

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.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Good Luck!

[@traceyfinch2615]

I have that iron in pink and she needs a cleaning, how do you clean them?

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Tracey - is it the faceplate that needs cleaning? BoNash makes a nice faceplate cleaner called "Iron Clean"

[@traceyfinch2615]

OnPoint-TV thank you

[@joettewarburton8005]

okay I think I have about ....does it count if I only bought the pattern and fabric?

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Yea, i think if you actually purchased the fabric you need to count it :) Nancy

[@jackie-dbdstitchart4969]

Probably about 20, some are just waiting on the backing fabric to get here.

[@donnaheflin6312]

I only have 3 ufo’s

[@janetflint8202]

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....

[@pattiann8477]

maybe 25? ufo's

[@paulinewhite1896]

I have at least 15 oh how terrible!,,

[@judywymore8867]

I refuse to count my UFO's. It's too depressing.

[@rosettagadson1762]

too many UFO to think about or count LOL

[@maureenstahl8060]

At least 50 quilt tops pieced but not quilted...

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

You need to find or buy a long arm quilter :) Nancy

[@karentzn]

Ohhhhh yes I have around 15 UFOs.

[@alleynehardaker8155]

I’ve been working at decreasing the number of my UFOs. Honest I have

[@jonalogsdon475]
