It came out OK for my first attempt. I've never done the quilt as you go method and am not sure how to go about putting the quilted blocks together. My question is this: When I quilt my blocks, should I be cutting my batting and backing larger than the block so that I have edges all around to work with she assembling? Any help or links to videos will be appreciated.

I guess I hadn't looked closely at the layout, because I was shocked at how big it is turning out! I can see why it is feasible to quilt this first block by itself. Now I'm trying to decide how I will handle the quilting for the whole quilt. I'm thinking that I may try the center block by itself, like you did (are?), but I'm no sure about the smaller blocks. I may wait until I have two or three done and quilt them as units, then join them together. Decisions, decisions!Barb Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16970539487622123183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21964134.post-78548297062140822642014-01-29T10:26:09.015-05:002014-01-29T10:26:09.015-05:00Well that was easy....the hard part is getting my ...Well that was easy....the hard part is getting my ideas to look great on the quilt :0).<br />How many hours of practice should that take?<br /><br />Happy SewingKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430521425239584348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21964134.post-20806746268766101272014-01-29T07:03:23.725-05:002014-01-29T07:03:23.725-05:00Love it and thanks for the great quilting ideasLove it and thanks for the great quilting ideasKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029778183767155304noreply@blogger.com
