Finally!! A wonderful easy to understand way to do this. Great explanation, this newbie quilter can now join those together with confidence. My fof( fear of failure) level was quite pronounced!

[iviolanti]

Thank you for sharing. I am a newbie to quilting and found it is a lot easier doing QAYG. I just needed ideas on how to stitch them together🤓

[helenpeddycord]

Great demo of QAYG blocks Kim! Love the Seam align glue💕🧵

[sewterie]

Thank you Kim. It is a good method to use. Makes me less afraid of making a quilt knowing that I can use QAYG.

[verajamieson]

Love your sewing partner, quality control.I am a beginner, so find your videos very helpfull.🙏🏻☘️🇮🇪👏👏🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛😊

[AnnieBarentine]

Salem made me smile!! Thanks for a great tutorial also😬👍

[robertastewart]

Thanks for showing your method of joining blocks -I like that the second strip is not folded as is usual because the seam is not as thick.

[Matty]

To me, this looks the best out of the other quilt as you go videos. So is there no way to do a quilt as you go without sashing?? I thought there was. I love your blocks too by the way!

[dahveedl]

At 7:20 you mention the stitching is not perfect but your not going to see that in the final product. How is that possible? The stitching is visible is it not? Just wondering as a new quilter. Thanks for posting.

Oh My .. the CAT !!! I was so busy watching him/her I'm afraid I had trouble paying attention to you .. what is his/hers name .. a beautiful thing it is :0)

[shireetropix]

I've always wondered why it's not done the opposite way so that the front is properly seamed and the back is topstitched. Is there a reason?

[carolinewijnen]

Thank you very much for the clearly explaining of this technique. I am just a beginner with quilting so I have to learn a lot and your video's are very interesting for me.

[cherrygingham]

I'm a Janome user and I use the HP2 foot for joining my quilt as you go blocks. It works perfectly with this joining technique.

[jeanielipskey]

I was wondering how the quilt as you go blocks would go together. How neat. I'm sure I'll have to watch a couple of times til I get it down! LOL

[FabShabbyRose]

I love this! I wondered how to do this! Love your helper! So sweet!

[bethkoch]

It's great to have a helper! I love QAYG, and this method of sewing the blocks together is the best as far as I'm concerned. After you've sewn the block, in order to sew the rows, I'm assuming you make a long strip the width of the quilt to secure those rows?

[debragreenway]

Why not finish the top of the block first? Then you don’t have topstitching on the top.

[yolandabyrnes]

Can I used a wide strip for the sacking.

[dcatweaver]

This was one of the very easiest methods I have seen. Thank you.
