Every Wednesday after a video is released on KZfaq, I do a live Q&A session, at 3 PM ET. I may also take the opportunity to discuss something in the video in more detail or maybe something I realize I didn’t talk about in the video. Some of the quilting cherubs share their own insight on the topic with others too!! Come and check it out!
You can also join our community group, “HALO’s Creative Kingdom” ( / 795507740874535 . This is a wonderful, supportive group of quilting cherubs. We have a HALO’s Happy Hour in the community that meets with me and other quilting cherubs, live, usually once a week. We hope to see YOU in there!
May you continue to be inspired, productive, and joyful! And may you never stop making your dreams in quilting come true!

Thank you for your time in sharing a QAYG method. I have tried it and it works great! Also, reading through some of the comments .. do not let those who are negative get you down😊..there is an old adage that comes to mind."If you can't think of something nice to say..stay quiet."

Beautiful fabric line, I have always wanted to try the quilt as you go method, thanks for sharing Angel

I hope this helps you in deciding to try QAYG. This method is great if you don’t have a large throat space on your domestic machine. In the past I made an over sized queen quilt with my domestic machine.

Angel! I got myself a pair of GUGGENHEIN scissors...You need to buy a pair! they have different sizes, (I have the dressmaker scissors), and absolutely love them! Now I am 77 yrs old and have had a lot of different kinds, and these by far are the absolute best!!!

Yes please try it and let us know what you think. This method makes the quilt top look the most like a traditional quilt.

Question I have a pattern that is essentially a 9 patch, however each 5” patch makes into a square block then the sashing added, which when sashed together form the quilt. Would I quilt each patch as I go, sew them together to the block or just quilt as I go the larger blocks?

@HALO_Inspirations 3 ай бұрын

Great question. That is the great part about quilt as you go. There are no rules You can do it either way and you can also quilt as you go row by row. I would suggest that you work with what is more comfortable you and with the throat space on your sewing machine.

Is there a set of steps for this method?

Do you mean a written out pattern or instructions? We do not at this time. Let us know if there is anything else I may be able to help with. Happy quilting!

I don’t do horizontal rows but vertical and work from center meaning nothing extra under arm.

@ceinwensprague8489 6 ай бұрын

What tips do you have in choosing the backing fabric?

@HALO_Inspirations 6 ай бұрын

A couple of things: First, a really busy print with a background that matches the thread choice of your quilting. Of course, an extremely busy fabric may just hide it any ways. This will allow your stitches to be hidden better. If you want your stitches to show on the back, you will want a backing that contrasts from the quilting thread choice. Watching the thread choice video may help you. Yes, it is for the front (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f86CdZyKu9SadHU.html), but you can understand where I am coming from for backing. Or, what ever makes your heart sing. It is the back...if it makes you happy, go for it. My mother is a very traditional quilter that likes to put Kaffe Fasset on the back of her quilts. Some will be shocked, but truly it makes her happy! There are no rules to quilting, and you are the boss. Just remember, it is your quilt. You do what you want. I like this question, and will do a video in the future for ideas of different ways you can go. Thank you!!! Hope this helps!

@@HALO_Inspirations Thank you! Wow, that was a quick response. You ROCK. Mine is a wall hanging of 12 blocks with each block representing that month. January snowman, October haunted house, etc. I’m excited to get started today with an orphan block or two to practice. God bless you!

@HALO_Inspirations 6 ай бұрын

@@ceinwensprague8489 , that sounds fantabulous! Because each block is themed differently, you could also choose a different backing for each! That might be "sew" fun! Practicing with orphan blocks is definitely a wonderful idea! I hope you enjoy the process! May God continue to bless you and your family! Happy Quilting!! XOXO-Angel

How would you deal with adding a border thanks tracie

@HALO_Inspirations 6 ай бұрын

That is a great question. After you quilt your rows of blocks together by using the quilt as you go method . You do the same process with using border strips sandwiched and quilted and attach the quilted border strips to the blocks using the quilt as you go method. Good luck and happy quilting.

@naomimarker451 7 ай бұрын

It looks like the method to join the squares is the same as that used in Manx patchwork.

You are 💯 % correct!!! It most certainly is!! Well done, our quilty friend!! Happy quilting!!

@carolynmilne5538 5 ай бұрын

I'm confused. First you say to make batting same size as top then you show cutting away batting?????

@HALO_Inspirations 5 ай бұрын

You want to cut your batting to the finished size of your block. In the first part, I show you a 10.5" squared block, and the batting is cut at 10" square. That is what you are supposed to do. The second block is a different block, and in the clip I state that we have some problems. One of the problems is that the batting is too big and goes beyond the block. Then I show you how I fixed it. Just in case you do it without thinking and use batting that is not correct. Great catch! Didn't mean to confuse you! Thanks for asking!

@rethamoore4282 4 ай бұрын

Im so sorry but I'm not able to see anything on that dark material. If you ever do this again , i would ask you do make a video using a light material so it shows up on " our" screens.😊

@HALO_Inspirations 4 ай бұрын

Thank you. We will keep this in mind.

@MsRoosmarii 5 ай бұрын

Why do you waste so much fabric? I cant see why you could not cut the top, the batting and the bottom the same size to start with? And the seam allowance around the quilt shoud be wider because now its quite a tedious work to bend them over. I definitely would not quilt one block at a time.

@HALO_Inspirations 5 ай бұрын

It is quilter's choice. There really are no solid rules. I use a larger backing to have something to hold on to beyond the sandwich to make it easier to quilt, my fingers will not be too close to the needle or needle bar. The batting is the finished size and not the unfinished size to allow for the seam and not be crazy with bulk. Again, this is just one method to do QAYG. There are other ways that quilters may enjoy better. It really does depend how your brain works. There is no absolute right way. As long as we all get to the finish that we want is all that matters. I will do another method in the future. I was demonstrating my preferred method. Thank you very much for your questions and inputs! I wish you a Happy Quilting Day!-Angel

You have lost me because i thought you had already cut your batting. Then the piece you start showing us has a large batting sticking out all around. What did i not get ? Bummers.😢

@HALO_Inspirations 4 ай бұрын

The block you saw was the second example. This was an example of stitching without realizing that the batting wasn’t trimmed. This ooopsie was a good way show how to correct this mistake. I am sure we all will do this at some point 😉. Thank you for stopping by.
