I’ve just finished a QAYG quilt and sewed the blocks together, no sashing, added a backing fabric and brought it round to the front@WildAtlanticWay ... Have you quilted through two layers or three ?
@BrendaP is very good at QAYG without sashing. Ive done it only once .. but will be doing it again with Heathies quilt.
I found on my first attempt,
The Big Brother 12 x 13 blocks = 72" x 78" before extra wide binding. I QAYG in two parts and made the schoolboy error of letting the 505 get too close to the edges that were to be joined and the walking foot dragged a lil on those areas and consequently there were
slight mismatches on a few of the blocks ...
... which was not much but bothered me enough for me to 'solve' the problem by appliquéing hearts at the affected intersections and a few more randomly across the rest of the quilt and no one is the wiser ... especially as Im the only person that sees it. Next time I will put some masking tape on the relevant edges to avoid that problem.
The backing was sewn through when I quilted the top and I turned the fabric under and slip-stitched it down after joining the top 2 sections together. So there is one, pretty much, invisible seam across the width of the quilt backing.
