How did your quilt turn out? I want to do a Labyrinth so bad but I am just beginning and it looks intimidating.

Wonderful video-so well explained. I am a confirmed Viking girl!

You could do rows at a time instead of blocks. Just use her joining method.

Linda, I found a quilting book that shows a very similar technique The book shows which blocks to put borders on and how to attach. It makes it so easy to join. The name of the book is Block by Block by Beth Donaldson which is out of print but I’ll be glad to send a pic of the page. The book is available on Amazon and has a lot of good ideas. Send an email jodyrose@bellsouth.net. Anyone who is interested.

You would just bind it the same way you would bind any quilt.

It is called the interchangeable walking foot and works with most Husqvarna Vikings made in the last 15 years.

It is called the Interchangeable walking foot, it only works on Husqvarna Viking machines.

I would contact the manufacturer of your sewing machine and ask them. :)

to join two blocks together with sashing you could add the sashing the same way, then add the next block or sew the sashing to one of the blocks but when you sew the rows together it wouldn't work as well

Yeah, that sounds tricky.

A straight stitch, moved to 1/4" seam allowance

Hi Wanda, yes, each quilt block is quilted all the way out to the edges (or at least to within 1/4" seam allowance of the edges) to ensure the quilting goes under the additional pieces for extra security.

Looks to me like you are correct!

You can quilt all the way to the edge or to 1/4" to the edge, it is your preference.

Here's one that they say is Guaranteed to fit your Machine apparently www.poconosewandvac.com/products/presser-feet/brother-walking-foot-open-toe-7mm-low?pidref=339&ptref=presser-feet

Learn your machine first .. regardless of which machine you use. I believe in buying from a local store more then the big box store, they usually have great classes there.

Deena Douskurt Paine Get a walking foot made for your machine - invaluable for quilting layers

You can buy a walking foot for every machine.

They didn't show quilting the layers of the block because this is just an example. Basically, you quilt the first block, then add the next block or border. You then quilt that block you added, before adding the next part. Yes, you end up sewing on a larger quilt eventually, but you are always sewing the outside edge, so no need to fit half a quilt in your machine. You could either start with a block in the middle, or on one side, adding each row of blocks as you go. I plan to try it, starting on one side, so the bulky part of the quilt is always to my open left, instead of in the machine. It's a great idea... have not seen other tutorials with this technique. :)

Around the 4:30 mark she begins the process. Each time you want to add another piece to your work you attach the back and front fabrics to your completed work. By adding the batting as a separate step (about 7:45) your work looks like you did traditional quilting. If you want it to have sashing you would make your “border” pieces the width that you want your sashing to be. Keep repeating the process until you have reached the size that you want, then bind the quilt. Since you’ve done your quilting before joining your blocks you won’t have to fight with large pieces under your machine. This is actually a great method to use if you don’t want to have to cover joining seams without using sashing.

@@latashaharrison2055 I guess my confusion comes from the way I did my other QAYG where I quilted all my squares then sewed them together. So, I am assuming on this method I will quilt my first square, add my sashing (or next square) then add the next square to be quilted and quilt that square after it is attached to the sashing? If you can't tell I am still a newby at this.I like QAYG best because I find the quilting after the top is together very difficult. Thank you for your response. Still not real sure about connecting each row so that I don't end up with a lot of bulk as I go.

Judi Gatter I love newbies!!! My favorite pastime is helping someone new to the quilt game to find their quilt path. The part that you’re missing wasn’t explained now that I think on your reply. The method outlined works great for one row but how would you connect the rows? I can think of a couple of ways with sashing but it wouldn’t be quite as smooth as this method. It would work great for a medallion style where you keep adding borders to make the quilt larger but not quite as well for multiple rows of pieced work.

Judi Gatter I think I figured out how to use this method for pieced work instead of just a center medallion with a series of borders. It requires some planning to assemble correctly but it can be done. Beginning on the left side of the quilt assemble the leftmost column and quilt it. Instead of pre quilting the rest of the blocks connect the squares of top of the next column as a separate piece. Attach the assembled column to the front of the quilted column as if it were a border strip with the backing on the back as outlined in the video. Once you’ve joined the batting and pressed the new column and backing into place it should look like the borders in the video. Make sure to stay stitch around the edges to minimize shifting then quilt the new column. Continue adding columns this way until you’ve reached the right side of the quilt. Square off and bind. Good luck!

Confidence! Beginner beware.

Lol be brave and sure.
