Roland’s Quilting - pic update Oct 8
I decided to make another quilt. This time, it’s a QAYG, and when the squares are done I will join them with sashing. I’ve never done this kind of quilt before.
Here is the first square.

Re: Roland’s Quilting
I know almost nothing about quilting, but think this first square is great. I love the combination of patterns and fabrics. The colors work well together too. I am looking forward to seeing what the next square will be. Will each square be different or will some be the same? And however do you decide?

Re: Roland’s Quilting
QAYG = Quilt As You Go? What exactly does that mean? (I'm no a quilter so I have no idea what the opposite would be )

Re: Roland’s Quilting
Are you planning any fancy stitching, like a crazy quilt? (ah, baseballs... *sigh*)

Re: Roland’s Quilting
That looks most interesting Roland and I look forward to the updates on it. It is certainly very colourful.

That is unusual, not seen anything like that before. Look forward to seeing more.

Re: Roland’s Quilting
The squares will all be diagonal, but the width of the pieces are varied. Some squares have five strips, some have 3, some 4.rcperryls wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 1:25 pm I know almost nothing about quilting, but think this first square is great.

Quilt as you go means each square is quilted, then it’s all put together. I have just a normal sewing machine and with this type of quilt you never have to have more than one square to the right of the needle.Mabel Figworthy wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 2:12 pm QAYG = Quilt As You Go?

No. This square is backing, quilting, and strips. Where each strip is sewn on is the quilting. It’s not a really “pretty” back, but I picked a material the stitch8ng doesn’t really show much. Unfortunately, I don’t think I have enough.
I have about 10 or 15 squares done. But I’m so bad at taking pictures. I’ll try.
I look for easy. Lol.
I would love to be able to do something fancy, but even these take me forever.
Re: Roland’s Quilting
Had my camera with me when I was in my sewing room.
These 9 are positioned the way I originally planned to sew them together.
But I think I like the way these 9 look more.
Either way, there will be thin sashing between them. Probably chocolate brown.
This picture is how they look when I finish sewing, but before I trim off the excess. The square in the upper right corner is the material for the back.

Re: Roland’s Quilting
I like the diagonal placing too, gives it more depth somehow. I like your choice of fabric for the back too, much better than plain backing. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.

Re: Roland’s Quilting
Definitely agree on the diagonal placing, more visually striking. Nice work!

Another vote for the diagonal version!

Re: Roland’s Quilting
Finished a quilt for my granddaughter. She forgot she asked me for one. I expect she’ll want it anyway, when she sees the colour and cats.

Thanks Sally.
Usually I take it to an oversized washer and dryer in a laundry mat to start the fraying. But, still to much Covid in my area, so I don’t want to.

What a gorgeous colour combination, and the overall quilt is so beautifully balanced!
