Great tutorial! This is a wonderful way for someone who doesn't have a long arm or can't afford paying someone to do it. It comes out looking beautiful. Thank you!

I just discovered you, and I am SO glad. I am a retired English teacher, and sometimes I can be a bit critical, but there is nothing to criticize with you. Your pace is fantastic, your explanations are clear, and you empower your viewer. Great job!

Hello Leah, this is not criticism it is rather a celebration to you, coming back to teaching. The decision that you made with your husband about cancelling the Facebook part of transmission of your knowledge was so wise. You are a born teacher and the accuracy of your work, your teaching methods and all of your very precise comments are the best in the business. Thank you so much for coming back to us and congratulations on your beautiful work, each and every one of them are a real piece of art. PS You look and sound so happy, that it must have had positive effects on your family living and on your sleep. Good bless. Roseline, Québec

I went back to this tutorial to refresh my memory about the widths of the front and back joining strips and found it as clear and helpful as I recalled. Thanks so much. A tip that some might find useful: my completed quilt felt 'floppy' where the blocks were joined so I've been fusing a narrow strip of fusible knit interfacing to hold the batting edges together before folding over and topstitching the front strips in place. On some quilts, I've also added a line of decorative machine stitching down the centre of the strips; that's worked well for the quilts made for my grandsons that are laundered frequently.

That is one of the clearest instructions I have seen for Quilt as you go.

I watched this video about a year ago. I've been going nuts trying to find it again because I forgot to save it. I'm so glad it showed up in my algorithm again! Thank you for a very clear cut tutorial 😊

Hi Leah...thanks so much for simplifying joining the QAYG blocks. You've restored my faith in the method. LOL I was all set to give up and your method is great. Blocks are connected and now onto the rows!!! Thanks so much. Susie

Leah, as always, amazing tutorial. I have been following you since your first YouTube videos and the 365 days of free motion tutorials. I love how you are still so generous with your time and sharing your amazing talents! Thank you for being the wonderful soul that you are and for making us better Quilter's 💜

Thank you for providing us all with such an amazing Quilt As You Go tutorial. I was so scared to try this technique but I think using your tutorial is going to make putting my 18 inch blocks together for a King size quilt so much easier.

[sandyrock]

This is the most beautiful way that I've seen to join QAYG blocks! Thank you!

[sharonc]

Wonderful video. The quality of the filming and your explanations of the steps are always excellent, Leah. Thank you!

[nayjan]

I always come back to your tutorials when I am reviewing a skill. I completed the dancing butterfly a few years ago and find myself with a different quilt as you go project and couldn't remember the joining strips for the best finish. Thank you!

Thank you. I watched a cazillion videos, and yours was the easiest to follow!

[sharonleeirvin]

Leah I'm so glad you showed the back of your blocks after sewing together no one else does that I always wonder what it looks like after sewing together, thank you

[gardengirl]

It’s so hard to find decent instructional videos but this is one! Thank you!

[nancypollard]

I first started with garment sewing and was always aware of not torturing the fabric. I love that quilting gives me permission to torture my fabric into submission. Ha! I'm just doing my first quilt as you go and thank you so much for this video. It is really really helpful. You are the best teacher on youtube. In my humble opinion.
