Quilt-As-You-Go Joining Method: JOIN & FLIP!

This video is my updated Quilt-As-You-Go Joining Method Tutorial - I'm calling it the Join & Flip Method.

This is not the same as Stitch & Flip, this is a method about joining blocks, rows, or sections of quilts, not about piecing as you go.

Have you used this method? How did it work for you?

Thank you for dropping this video. For the last eight (8) months, I have not been able to make myself set down and sew. I love making quilt tops; but, I don't like to quilt them. I can't afford to pay someone to quilt them for me. Plus, I can't afford a long-arm quilting machine (and I don't have the space to set one up anyway ). What you just showed me (in this video) may be the answer to my problems. I just Subscribed to your channel. I'm a lady U.S. Army Veteran. A group called Visiting Angles is going to help me get to and from the VA Hospital next month (on that day I am not allowed to drive myself anywhere). I have been thinking that they would know which Veterans really need (and want) a quilt. If they don't already have quilts in their vehicles, they may need some. I might get to use a lot of my stash if I find a good reason to make quilts. Helping Veterans is a very good reason to make quilts. You're a very special Helping Angle to me.

This is what my mom taught me because I don’t have a quilting machine. You have explained it perfectly. Thanks

My mama used to make quilt tops and put them up on a frame for us all to quilt. She put the cotton batting in them and they were so warm. In the winter we used these instead of having heat on. I remember after my sister got married, I used to have a quilt around me, I’d stand in front of the heater with my quilt open. My quilt would get warm, I’d wrap it around me to hold in the heat and run and jump into bed. I slept warm all night long.

Thank you SO much for the whole quilt demonstration because that's when the light bulb went off for me. I am trying this as soon as i finish my current quilt top.

I started following The Pioneer Woman's blog around 2008 when few people knew her and she supercharged my baking life to the point I now have my own cookie business. I consider you The Pioneer Woman of quilting! Someday you, too, will do for quilters what she did for cooks.

I have watched your video twice as I committed to making a large queen sized quilt for my son's mother in law and have been looking at QAYG methods especially the joining methods. This is GREAT thank you relieves the fear. Can't disappoint in-laws :)

This is great for those of us without easy access to a long-arm (or long-armer). I also love that you can get a kind of "bonus quilt" on the back with different fabrics. Nice clear instructions!

[Renee-Soleil]

This is perfect. I bought a tiny 30$ sewing machine and it doesn't have an arm long enough (or motor powerful enough) for regular quilting. This method will be great for me to get rid of all my scraps. What a great video.

Very nice alternative quilt as you go joining methods. I learn best by seeing the process and you did that well for all 3 methods.

Oh my goodness! I'm so glad I found this video and you! I am 62 and love fabric! Somehow I have never made a quilt because I was afraid that I would never be able to quilt it on my regular sewing machine. Do you know that you have changed my life with this video? I can't wait until tomorrow! I found this video around 10:30 pm. I have a ton of scraps and batting that I was getting ready to donate. You've saved the day and I can make my daughter's quilts now! I'm so excited that I'll never sleep! Happy quilting! And thank you so much!!! Kari St.Clair- Springfield, Missouri, home of Bass Pro and Brad Pitt

I loved your video ... all 3 versions of "Quilt as you go". Thank you so much ❤️ 💖

[pamhillier]

I put away a quilt for my grandson because I wasn't sure how I wanted to put the strips together. This method is a game changer for me. I am going to try this so I can finally finish his quilt. Thank you.

I asked you a question about using twin needles, a short while back (on one of your videos - not sure which one).
Came back to let you know that it worked well by sewing on each side of the 'ditch' (so, effectively 4 rows of stitching) which created a sort of double row frame on each square. I used a small zigzag over the ditch to join it to the backing. I'd post a photo, but, it seems I can't.

Thank you, so much for this video. It was the only QAYG video that, actually, showed how to add the extra pieces and made any sense.

It's the first quilt I've ever made and, thanks to you, I'll be making many more ❤

Bright blessings 🌞

Love this idea & will be trying it soon, being in my 83rd year & only 3yrs into quilting I think this will work for me just fine…thank you, thank you, thank you for the clear instructions…it was a p, easier to watch…😃

[wildwestjanbutcher]

This was a very timely video for me. I started a Christmas quilt three years ago with hand embroidered blocks in the centre and pieced blocks around the edges. I wanted to quilt it myself, so I started quilting each panel or block as each was finished. I am getting to the stage where I was starting to think about joining blocks and adding backing and this video has certainly given me something to think about! Fingers crossed it’s finished for this Christmas!

[jeanramirez]

All hail Kristen! Queen of QAYG. Thank you for your ingenuity.

[sewgatormomm]

Thank you so much! Decades ago, I met a woman who made charity quilts with this method. She printed out the instructions for me from a magazine or book(?) and I put them in a “safe place” never to be found again. Thank goodness for you and YT! 🥰

[koalasez]

Watching and will watch again-this is the answer to my quandary of not having the space to assemble batting, backing and a quilt top let alone quilt it 😳! Love the multicolor backing too. I did a “roll” once on a queen size when I first learned to quilt about 30 years ago . Yikes….so I’ve kept on with lap quilts. Now I am ready to try your method! Thank you 😊. (I love my old Pfaff). Subscribed!

Great idea! Thanks for generously sharing these methods of quilting on your standard machine.
