This has been my favorite joining technique for a long time. It really is the easiest to do.

[@TulipSquare]

It’s definitely the easiest way we know of! 😊🌷

[@patriciaturner-davis8725]

This was the absolute best example I have seen. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@TulipSquare]

Thanks so much! 😊🌷

[@janicefender2071]

This is the best tutorial for joining QAYGO blocks. I have twelve blocks ready to join. I did an online tutorial for them but was totally lost on understanding the printed instruction to join them. Been sat in a bag for over a year. Got to get working on them. Thank you.

[@TulipSquare]

Thank you! So glad you found it useful! 😊🌷

[@gailbroadaway3531]

I enjoyed the video. I like your no-nonsense straight-forward style of presenting the information. I'm almost your age, so maybe you'll remember the old "Dragnet" show where Joe Friday often said, "Just the facts, ma'am." That's what your style reminded me of. :-) I'll be watching your other videos.

[@TulipSquare]

Haha! Thank you so much for that! Your comment made me chuckle....our fax cover page (remember those?) used to say "Just the fax, ma'am" 😄

[@sonnaolson60]

I agree! Thank you for this helpful video

[@brandithomas2045]

This is the third video I’ve watched using this technique. Your explanation makes the most sense and is the easiest to understand. Thanks so much!!!

[@m.s-c5553]

Me too! I also watched two other videos and did not understand until I watched yours. Thank you so much!

[@softspirits]

I have used this technique successfully before but the way you describe it is so much clearer than the way I learned!!! I can’t wait to try this with a scrap string quilt I’m contemplating!!!

Right?? First of all no apologies needed sometimes we just can’t put words together! Love your blouse I had those a yellow/ white one years ago. Please don’t say your old I’ll be 72 in a blink sew I’m there. Love those tops! Just what I was looking for, you made my day! One of the first quilts I made was a disappearing 4 patch that I turned into a QAYG 😂No pattern for QAYG I had saw it once and remembered! Then I forgot and have 50 plus blocks of sunflowers and 50 plus blocks of the green multi colored backing! Yes yes yes now I can finish! Thank you sew much for reminding me, must write these things down! ❤️ 🤗

[@TulipSquare]

We love those striped shirts, they’re our favorites. Between the two of us, we have a bunch of different colors! Paulette just turned 72 a week ago, so she’s right there with you! So glad you can get your sunflowers together now. Happy sewing! 🌻🌷

Very instructive! The best visual and step by step video I’ve found!! Everybody talks so fast on KZbin, I just get a headache rewinding etc! Thank you much. I do have a question about if I want a wider tape binding, how works I figure out the front and back strips please?

[@TulipSquare]

Thank you! We really appreciate that! To do it with a wider piece, you would have to do it a bit differently, because you would then need to add batting to the strips. With this method you don't need to because the blocks butt up against each other to fill the gap. It might be easier to make your blocks with a border, then use the same fabric to join them together for the look of a wider sashing. I hope that makes sense! 🌷
