Quilt as you go is the only way to go. I’ve made 7 or 8 big quilts using your method of connecting them. I looked at a dozen or more other methods and yours was the only one that I like. Other methods are great for other people but this just makes sense to me. When I’ve given my quilts to the person I made it for they can’t believe I did all of the quilt on my home machine. I don’t think I will ever be interested in free motion quilting. I feel it is WAY above my skill level. I love piecing and designing my blocks so much. That is where my joy comes from. Free motion quilting and all that would probably reduce me to a puddle of tears. 😉😉. Thank you MSQC for all you do for us out here in quilt land! Everyone of you is a treasure.

I decided at the last minute to make myself a memory quilt of my final 5th grade class, I was preparing to retire after 34 years of teaching. I had my students draw self portraits on 5 inch squares. I used this method and was very pleased with the results and I was able to finish it it time to show my class before school ended.

Having sewn for 62 years (my Mom showed me the basics when I was 9!) I just began trying my hand at quilting a little while ago. My machine is not a long arm, so I pretty much dreamed up the same idea as quilting as you go. Now that I have youtube and can see tutorials, I'm learning SO many tricks! Your work is amazing and so easy to follow. Thank YOU so much for sharing your knowledge.

omgoosh, I have a stash of antique hand embroidery items I've been saving, from pillow cases, table cloths, tea towels flat sheets and aprons. I just think of the old days where women spent countless hours on their craft. I see it as a tribute to a dying art and the women behind the needles. Ty again for your video.

I have used this method for a lot of my quilts that are larger than a full size. I don't have to wrestle with trying to quilt it.. It's fun, easy and instantly borders and sets apart each block. One added suggestion, before the blocks are joined, now would be a good time to practice your free motion skills as the blocks are small and easy to manipulate in any free motion capable machine. Thanks for all your fantastic tips and tricks. Have a fantastic New Year and see you in 2017.

So glad I found this tutorial, I was given a tote of material from a cousin who lost her mom and she didn't sew so wanted me to have it. Little did she know that her mom had made 20 butterfly blocks all hand sewn on. I wanted to do some quilting on them but want to keep all the hand stitching, anyway wasn't sure how to connect the blocks now I have the perfect plan. My sewing machine has a short throat so hard to quilt anything too big and have good results. I am going to put it all together and give to her as a surprise gift. Thank you!

I just want to say a massive thank you from South Wales (UK), I signed up with a local charity (Project Linus) to make blankets and Quilts for children in need. I signed up thinking I'll do knitted blankets etc as I'd never quilted. The group showed me some basics to get me started which was great but when you're trying to do 72" square quilts on a Brother LS14 in your bedroom and the table is barely bigger than your sewing machine (my A3 self healing cutting mat does fit flat on it but my A4 one does to give hint as to size) things get really difficult real quick. Especially binding by folding over the edges so the corners are about an inch thick lol. Your tutorials have really helped me clean up the quilts to look more "competent hobbyist" less "first time on a sewing machine" and now this quilt as you go (and I've looked at about 30 tutorials and I could not get my head around them) has really made this so much more simple. Thank you so much :)

This has proven to be one of best techniques ever! I have done quite a few quilts using this method of quilting and joining. It even works well for larger quilts too. It is easy fast and so much fun that before you really realize it you are putting the final row on and finishing the bottom. It totally eliminates the normal bulk and crowding that you normally would have trying to machine quilt on a home machine. Totally doable.

In the 70s I bought some of these preprinted embroidery squares. I never made them into a quilt because they are printed too close to the edge. So its not the embroiderer's fault. Mine were Farmer Brown's animals. Youve inspired me to go ahead & finish them after all these years.
