Easy Quilting: Joining Quilt As You Go Blocks!

Thank you for watching! This video shows how I joined quilt-as-you-go blocks with sashing strips.
Check out other QAYG ideas below.

See how I made these blocks here:

I made another QAYG quilt using "needle-turn" applique. Check it out here:

This video shows how to join the rows after you have put them together:

I made a t-shirt quilt using quilt-as-you-go. See the blocks here:

I also showed how you can join these blocks with no sashing strips.

Thank you, Erica, for your clear and logical way of explaining joining QAYG blocks. Best wishes in the future.

That quilt and the way you arranged the blocks are spectacular. You are so talented.

I have read and read and read again the different patterns and books on how to do this but could not wrap my brain around the instructions. Your video made the light bulb come on. I truly understand now and I'm not afraid to give it a try. Glad I stumble on your video. Keep up the good work. I'm a subscriber now.

Great job showing this method! I have a suggestion that I show my students. Your best friend can be Elmer's Washable School Glue! I use it to hold everything in place instead of pins. Especially that last piece on top. Dab small amounts of glue all along the piece, iron in place to dry the glue then sew it as usual. Stitching will be perfect in the front and back. The best part is...it all washes out the first time you launder it! You can use the glue when folding over your outer binding too. You can then stitch your binding on by machine. Happy Quilting!

Loved your video very clear instruction. Loved how you went on with it instead of over repeating and slowing the video down. Thank you I’m ready to try it now thanks to you.

Thank you for this video! I have read so many indestructibles on attaching quilt as you go blocks...this video beat them all!

II had so much fun making an earlier QAYG using this technique with skinny strips, I'm making another one! Using a variety of fabrics for the back makes the back as much fun as the front! Thanks for your excellent inspiration. LOVE that pink!

Wow!! Beautiful quilt blocks, you have a very good eye for colours that match. lovely clear video. Thank you.

[lilbaglady]

Erica, that quilt is going to be beautiful! Nice video.

I think it was YOUR QAYG video that got me started on kids quilts using this method. I may have known about it previously, but your cheerful fabrics and teaching style really helped me move forward and make 6 or more for family and/or donations. I've made my own slight modifications but love using scraps and batting scraps. I kept 2 for baby-need emergencies. 8-)) Thank you so very much!

[peggystreby]

This is the clearest QAYG video I've seen! I might be convinced to try it.

[dedrasmitherman]

Thank you for your clear instructions and practical tips. You have a calm and encouraging way about you!

[ellenschram]

Very nice tutorial. You answered my questions before I even said something to myself!

[AbuelitaPaloma]

Thank you! Finally quilt as you go makes sense. I may actually give it a try.

[hippiechick]

Beautiful colors and such a nice bright room.

[beanixdorf]

Erica, again you make it understandable and easy to do. I haven’t watched Leah’s video yet but I’m not sure I need it. This worked the FIRST time I tried. For me that’s rare. Thank you so much for your instruction.

[rowansteale]

Absolutely a beautiful quilt...Well done...Loved the video.
