Agreed!

[@nancymiller349]

There are many more videos out there that are much easier to follow.

[@suedavis1835]

Thank you sooooo much for your clear and concise explanation of your QAYG method. You don’t know how much I really needed to understand how to join the blocks together. I appreciate all your videos and practical techniques.

[@denisestilling2810]

Looking forward to this mini-series!!!! The quilt on your Birch mattress is spectacular!

[@nicolebeauchamp7622]

Thank you. Your teaching style is so easy to understand.

[@saundraweed9738]

I so love this method. Makes my life easier and more productive while living in a small space. I can work on making several styles of blocks at the same time while I continue to collect scraps to complete my projects.

[@lutxu72]

Finally a great explanation of how these blocks and quilts are made. Thank you so much!

[@carlaatkins2619]

Karen, this is the CLEAREST, most informative video I've seen on QAYG. I'm looking forward to the next in the series. Thanks so much, Your friend from New Mexico, Carla 🎶 💖 💐

[@karenraabis5296]

The first thing I love about this, is the ruler as a template! That is awesome

[@susanladouceur890]

‘Tips and tricks’ has never been so applicable, thank you Karen.😊

[@alijah922]

As so many others finally I understand how to combine the single blocks together.

[@sarahmay5254]

Your videos are better and more detailed than classes I've taken in quilt shops!!

[@cynthiajones1461]

I laughed out loud as soon as I saw your title. I've made string quilts and absolutely love making them, but I've yet to use up all my scraps and I made my first quilt 41 years ago. But I'm going to keep trying and this was a great video. I'm so glad you shared this awesome block.

[@carlaatkins2619]

Where do the scraps go?😅

[@cynthiajones1461]

@@carlaatkins2619 They go to find friends to bring back home with them.

[@juliemiller9258]

This is a method I should try to use up many small pieces. Scraps from each quilt all in their own blocks would be a fun memory quilt for myself since I give away almost all of my quilts.

[@carlaatkins2619]

Julie, super idea💡. I am going to borrow it!!

[@chamilaschadlou3281]

Thank you for the video. I quit little quilting I did after diagnosis with cancer. I m not good at it. But enjoy spending time doing it. But this video tempted me to finish my scrap and may be I will give it a go. I m from Sri Lanka where long arm machine even doesn’t exist for what I know. Only garment factories probably might have. Your smile is like a sun shine 😊.

[@ShesSoHuggable]

This was so perfectly executed. So detailed, easy to understand at every level, so very thoughtful down to the last detail. Don't forget to check this, look out for this, double check this before this. Plus so many clear examples and demonstrations. This is the ultimate quilting video. I've never seen a better teaching video. Plus your voice is so soothing. Amazing fantastic job!!! ❤❤❤

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Wow, thank you!

[@Treaclepuff]

I just had to save this video! What a wonderful way to quilt as you go! Thank you for such detailed instructions! I look forward to trying this!

[@georginataylor7757]

What a clever way to QAYG. The binding is a neater way to make it work. Love the layout options too. Thanks. 🇦🇺

[@suesmyder]

Love your examples. Gives a good visual on how to do it. Thank you.

[@Piglady1983]

What a great how-to. This process is so much better than fighting with a full size quilt. And I absolutely 💗LOVE💗 the pink theme!!🥰

[@laruthb2432]

OMG! Thank you soooo much for the clear and concise directions and the tidbits and reminders. I have been sewing since a child but only quilting for 3 years. I do not have space for a large quilter and this idea is ingenious. I have seen others on youtube show HOW but You Method is Number One! I love the one inch binding- Its Perfect. You have saved me! Thank you Karen! 😀

excellent video 👏👏👏

This was best explanation for quilt as you go I have seen and will be great for the charity quilts I make

[@aimee-made]

I'm kind of drowning in scraps right now! Rather than try to figure out more storage space, I need to do THIS! This is particularly nice for summertime. I do NOT want a big heavy quilt all over me this time of year!😊

What a fantastic video and way easier than it looks thanks to you thorough explanation. I appreciate you showing me this! Waving from Indiana, USA

Great tutorial on quilt as you go. Thank you, Karen. We need more of these tutorials even for some of us that have been quilting for awhile. Our brains sometimes get foggy.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

You are so welcome!

[@ramonamcdowell4070]

Thanks Karen for making it so simple, fast, accurate & a huge smile 😊 comes as we use up our "favorite" fabrics!! ❤❤❤ you are appreciated!!

[@judyallhands3361]

I make scrap blocks but use muslin as the base and make a quilt top and quilt as usual but this method looks interesting, will definitely try this. Thanks for the interesting videos.

[@hollywaddell6727]

Now you’ve set my brain working, @judyallhands3361. I’ve been craving a coverlet (summer-weight quilt with no traditional batting) but knew it would be best to have a middle layer not some kind, not just a pieced top and a backing. Your use of muslin might just be the perfect weight and will add the necessary opaqueness and added stability. Thank you for commenting.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

@@hollywaddell6727some people use a single layer of flannel as batting. It’s thin enough for summer

[@rebeccamulkern1051]

Brilliant video, thanks Karen, when I will get fed up wrestling with a huge quilt going through my little domestic sewing machine, this is the kind of quilt I'll make❤

[@dia9491]

You’re the best on KZbin for quilting. I love the way you teach. I learn so much every time I watch your videos. Thank you so much!

[@catherinepena256]

I’m ready to start quitting. I’ve been nervous to get started. Your video is excellent. Very detailed presentation with guidance and tips to be successful. I will continue to follow.

[@likeavirshin]

I just want to say that your graphics are so simple yet so helpfull!! I do the same when I teach. Those simple examples when you apply a concept to the actual mather in question are the most effective to make your point across and visualize it. Im always impressed when i watch your videos and I'm mad i didn't told you sooner. You rock!! ❤

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you so much. Some techniques need the graphics to be clear, sometimes I don’t have a clear video angle so I use a graphic and sometimes the brain needs a break.

[@DivineQuiltCo]

I love tutorials about scraps! I love your dollar store finds too. Keep up the good work!

[@gwynwellliver4489]

A method I have always intended to try, but never have. The visual is so helpful.

[@ElinT13]

Very beautiful squares and rectangles! Thanks for yet a very nice and informative video, Karen!

[@melissarey2973]

As a lazy quilter, this seems like a good idea for making coasters, trivets, placemats, and hot/cold pads. Piecing the blocks together to make a full-size quilt looks like a pain in the butt. And neck and shoulders. 😊 I see some scrappy gifts-for-friends projects in my near future.

[@tanishalinwilson1247]

I absolutely love you. Wish we were neighbors! 😊

[@kittyswanson3611]

You can also start sewing in the centre of the block and build out like a log cabin. For the first centre piece sometimes I make a small patchwork grid, or use a picture for an eye spy piece. Another fab how to Karen!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

That’s an excellent idea. Thanks for sharing

[@ellegtown1]

This is so fun! I like to use a slightly wider strip folded in half on the top so I don’t have to deal with turning under that quarter-inch, but I learned that I make it a hair bigger than the math says because you lose a smidge of fabric in the fold. Then I top-stitch on both sides of the top of the binding. If you use a jelly roll strip, you cut 1” off and are left with a 1.5” strip the you press in half with wrong sides together for the front. Anyway, I hope this makes sense. It’s such a swell method…now I want to go make scrappy blocks! Thank you so much for the inspiration. Also, that fusible bobbin thread is blowing my mind…absolutely brilliant!

[@Craftythrifter]

That’s the method I use too. It works really well.

[@luwanacouch2617]

Thank you ever so! My grandkids who are 12 and 14 (boy and girl), are making their first quilts. They are doing 9 inch blocks when it’s completed will be a mosaic pattern so obviously the styles are different. Trying to find someone with a long arm that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to quilt. It has been a struggle. Watching your video. I am now confident that we can do it at home and I know the kids will be excited to do it also. thank you so much for such an in-depth instructional video.

[@M-hc9xm]

I have been making diagonal string quilt blocks, a few at a time, for the past year to manage my scrap stash. I was just waiting for a video like this one for QAYG to make sense! Thank you! Cant wait to see all my scraps in a king size bed quilt.

[@shellierobertson5724]

😲🤔😃😃😃 Thank you! I've always avoided this technique because of the "connecting" step. This is doable 💖

[@ilonabancroft5948]

I have sewn a number of QAYG quilts. I prefer to sew a row of blocks together, then quilt each row. This gives less seams on the back. Sewing borders on is easy, too. My scraps are finally organized. My last bin was sewn into three string aquilts, qayg! Love your videos!

[@Sandra-tn7yx]

Absolutely thrilled with your quilting tips. As an older new comer to quilting, I appreciate the knowledge you put into your tutorials. You .ake it seemseeasy even though it is anything but easy. You give great tips based on your experiences over the years and give information of how to, why to, when to and all of that information is filled with answers of why and how. So basically you tell us this is how, these are the tips of things i learned over the years and why is answered as well! I hope that makes sense. Thank you Karen!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

[@BlessingsfromNorthIdaho]

Love the great, clear instructions. I never was thrilled with QAYG, but you made it seem intriguing ( and easy) so I think I’m going to have a go at it.

[@kgat216]

You look amazing!!! It’s obvious you’re working hard to feel more comfortable in your clothes.

[@rebeccafoster-faith6647]

I did the "squares on diagonal" method as an experiment. My center was a consistent white and I put all medium values on one side and dark values on the other. The resulting lighter and darker diamonds with the white faux sashing looked great.

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

I bet that looks beautiful!

[@carlaatkins2619]

I wish we could post pictures here as I would love to see it.

[@bethkoch11]

I did a similar design, using black "Grunge" as my diagonal center, but then just kept it scrappy. The blocks turned out better than I'd hoped!

Perfect timing. I just received 30+ QAYG log cabin blocks from the 1970s. Go gold, orange and brown! Im going to use this method to stitch up several smaller quilts for charity and honor the mystery woman who made the blocks so lovingly all those years ago.
