I had a surprise phone call this afternoon; Terry's cousin and his partner of many years are getting married at the beginning of September 0_0.
I'd like to make them a quilt for a wedding present but how ambitious can I be sizewise given that there's barely eight weeks to get it done in. In other words how small can a quilt be and still be a proper quilt? -<
Initially I'm thinking of maybe one of Judy Martin's log cabin designs - all straight strips so no diagonals to cope with, but also they lend themselves to scrappy, using lots of fabrics so I could get stuck in straight away using stash.
-
I don't know how soppy you want to be but uneven log cabin lends itself quite well to curves and hearts.
The other good thing about LC is it comes on quite quickly. I did 16 blocks at a one day workshop and I have the attention span of a gnat. It would be no problem to you.
The storm at sea block also lends itself to hearts if you want to go that way. I saw loads on Pinterest after looking at yours but I don't know how fast it comes together.
-
Can't help with advice for the quilt I'm afraid, but what a lovely present. Difficult to find a suitable gift for an established household - a toaster really won't do!
-
What a lovely idea Brenda, at least the Maths won't cause you headaches. I think a log cabin sounds nice and homely, and, as you say you can begin straight away. Given a good 6 weeks and a straightforward pattern, a double should be manageable if you keep the quilting simple. The fun will be in choosing the colours / patterns from your stash :)
-
It's the quilting that scares me! If I make it bed sized it will be too big to machine quilt in one piece and I've never tried QAYG. I don't want to mess it up at the last minute :ninja:
All the patterns in Judy Martin's log cabin book are based on 1.5" cut strips. I'm thinking of a variation on either "Peaceful Valley" (http://www.judymartin.com/gallery/surra.html) or "Sisters" (http://www.judymartin.com/gallery/hahn3.html) and have spent all evening cutting strips of blues/greens/purples and creams and will probably do highlights of gold/yellow.

How can that be ???? With your beautiful quilts ?? How did you quilt them ???
Im confused !!!
I wish you had been following the Mystery Quilt Brenda...
Its a super fast make and you would have all the blocks ready to assemble by now and it makes a beautiful quilt.
Pm me if you would like to see a pic...you could have it finished by the end of the month!
-
The log cabin that Sakar did recently was very striking.
-
How did you quilt them ???
Badly! :ninja:
The Shakespear in the Park monster was hand quilted - I won't have time for that. A couple were tied, but that's cheating really and it's not really what I want. Most of the others have been in the ditch but the stitching tends to wander either side of that ditch.
A couple of times I have managed the basic squiggley spaghetti type of FMQ but only on small pieces/border areas. I know I couldn't do it in one go over the whole of a biggish quilt.
Imi, If I make it up in sections and do QAYG what happens about the joins? I know you have to leave the edges unquilted so that you can make the seams. Does it remain unquilted either side of those seams?
-
If you fancy a trip to Paddock Wood, Purple Pixie at the Hop Farm has a long arm. You have to do it yourself, but it may be an option.
Lovely idea for a wedding present.

No I quilt right to the edge of the pieces.
You can QAYG in multiple blocks, Quarters, thirds or halves.
Ruebens treasure Map quilt was quilted in (I think) 12 blocks

and Lucias Black and White jobby will be quilted in halves.
All of these have visual allowance for the joining strips.
I have never QAYG'ed without them I'm afraid but understand the basic premise ...
Leave an inch unquilted on either edge of the pieces you want to join.
Trim the batting to 1/4" less than the top on either side
Right sides together of the top and stitch ... and I have no idea how you stitch the bottom closed.
I do have the Ann Peterson (?) Craftsy class on Quilting Big Quilts on small machines, I could further investigate if you wished.
The mystery quilt can only be QAYG'ed if you add borders...Which I did with the one I gave my Auntie Gell, but the centre has to be quilted as a whole ...which it can as I did it!
-
I didn't know that! It's an interesting idea, but it would probably take quite a long time to get comfortable using her machine. At the moment I'm leaning towards FMQ squiggles, fairly widely spaced both for speed and to be less noticable at the joins.
-
No I quilt right to the edge of the pieces.
so how do you do the join?

I'm thinking probably quarters

I understand about trimming ther wadding and sewing the top layer together with the regular 1/4" seam allowance, but I'm not sure what you mean about visual allowance for the joining strips..
I don't want sashing on the front of the quilt.
... and I have no idea how you stitch the bottom closed.
:ninja: :ninja: :ninja:
My understanding from what I've read is that either it's hand stitched or there has to be one or two lines of machine stitching which shows on the front.
The mystery quilt can only be QAYG'ed if you add borders...Which I did with the one I gave my Auntie Gell, but the centre has to be quilted as a whole ...which it can as I did it!
The designs I'm thinking of are based on 10 inch blocks plus pieced borders 10" wide. In the book she shows layouts for wall hangings with 4 blocks x 4 blocks which comes to a total of 60" x 60" or King size quilts 8 blocks x 8 blocks plus the borders which adds up to 100" x 100". I'm thinking of maybe 6 blocks x 6 blocks plus the border = about 80" x 80".
-
The visual allowance means...
Reuben's quilt is set as blocks, bordered in the dark polka dot
The HSTathon had 72 unique HST blocks bordered in white so the joining strips used that white strip
Lucia's quilt has white columns in between the twist and turn strips, increasing in width as they progress to the sides of the quilt. I'm joining her quilt in the middle where the strip will be 1/2" ...

which is exactly the size of the finished joining strip !
If you don't want sashing, I can't help you I'm afraid.
Its something I've been meaning to do but you know how it is with comfort zones!
-
Brenda, what a lovely idea!
The video I found most helpful for qayg, is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji8BLS2rNHA
Jenny at Missouri Star also does a good one.
Jessie
-
I saw somebody, I think it was Jenny Rayment, doing a tutorial where the sashing was only on the back in the same colour. She trimmed the wadding so as not to get "automatic folds". I think she did a wavy line and then matched the waves (same as wallpaper seams). I'm damned if I can find it but I remember at the time that it made perfact sense. I'll try and hunt it down...I may be some time. :[
-
Without sashing the front is straightforward and the back, you have one side longer, fold it over the shorter piece and slip stitch. I'm not a fan of qayg with sashing as they all tend to look the same to me -<
I feel your pain with the quilting which is why I hand quilt, although I see it is not an option with your timescale. Perhaps straight , diagonal lines to make a diamond lattice might be the least onerous choice?
I love both those lc patterns. I really must try one - good luck :)
-
My very first ever quilted thing was a QAYG log cabin wallhanging. It was easy to QAYG because you just sew the strips to the wadding and backing so it is quite literally QAYG. The blocks were joined by sewing all layers together including a 1 1/2 finishing strip - I used the pattern fabric from the front. After the seam is done you trim away as much excess batting as possible to get rid of bulk. I hand stitched the other side of the finishing strip down. iYou could do the individual blocks with different coloured backing fabrics to make a rear design.
-
I manage to quilt double bed size on my little janome mechanical machine. It's getting the hang on rolling the bit that goes in the tiny harp and having a reallu good plan for what you are doing. The hardest bid is the middle and that gets done first! Lots of curved safety pins.
If you want to FMQ all over in one design think carefully about what you want - just texture or something that will add some interest? Stippling gives texture but you need to practice so that you're not missing sections or getting trapped! Or you could loop de loop which is fun and a bit more forgiving as not as tight as stippling. You could also run a grid design like clam shells or cathedral windows which add a bit of interest along with the texture. I love FMQ - it's not as scary as you think! Leah Day (I think it's her!) has a lovely feather filler which is simple and very very pretty.
The loop de loop and stippling can all be slightly changed to make different designs - add a flower head in or a spiral every so often for eg.
Log cabins also lend themselves to the regular line designs that can really help with reinforcing shapes as you can do them in different directions and you can wiggle them or widen/shrink the spaces etc.
You can get quilt clips to help hold your quilt roll rolled up as well.
-
If you're stuck for time, how about doing a small strip of quilt for going across the foot of a bed? Like wot they have in hotels? Or is straying from set sizes a "no-no" in quiltland?
-
What do you mean Bodgey "like wot they do in hotels"? I have those on all our beds..... and piles of cushions too :P
-
I love the idea of a thingy to go across the end of the bed....you could even do a couple for different seasons perhaps? You'd have plenty of time to do them. Very thoughtful of you to want to make them something; whatever you do it will be appreciated I'm sure. :)
I could never do a quilt in that short time..I'm a bit of a lame snail I'm afraid...and oooooooo the added pressure of knowing I have a time limit? Yep...I'd go for the end of the bed thingys!! 0_0
-
What do you mean Bodgey "like wot they do in hotels"? I have those on all our beds..... and piles of cushions too :P
No - not the cushions >< :P
-
I think they call those runners bed scarves.

I've done a bit of googling and You-tubing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9G3wTte9qY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9G3wTte9qY) shows how to QAYG in strips and close the back by hand. That method could be used for quarters as well as strips.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_b9WjeP0mU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_b9WjeP0mU) and the subsequent parts 2, 3 and 4 wastes a lot of time showing her advert and waffling away but the method joins the patchwork, wadding and backing all in one go (a bit like the way I think they sew channelling into duvets. You have to start in the middle and work outwards and would only work for strips but it did look neat.
Back to the cutting of strips. I've got a couple of shoeboxes, one for blues/purples and greens whch is fairly full of strips and one half full of creams. I'll start cutting them into the required lengths and then think about whether they get made into a full size quilt or just a scarf and cushions.
-
Thats gorgeous Ploshy ...very very nice!
BI5erk, the Gourmet Quilter taught me to QAYG and that is my preferred method of joining the blocks ...

Bed runners are great When my neighbour got married I made her one in the double wedding ring pattern which I thought was very apt and looked good. I liked it so much I made myself one in a different colour. :D There's the advantage of a nice scallop shaped edge with that pattern as well, although it takes quite a lot of bias to bind it.
Not keen on cushions on a bed though, but that's just me.
-
Well I've jumped in at the deap end, and going for a quilt that will be about 80" x 80". 'Sisters' from Judy Martin's Log cabin book, but a different layout to the one in the link I posted earlier.
I spent much of yesterday and today (well Friday and Saturday really as it's now past midnight) with the rotary cutter, but we had lunch out and then popped into Rochester and bought 8 FQs to supplement stash fabrics. I also bought the wadding and loyalty points were enough to fill up my card so I've got a free metre of fabric next time I shop there - quite handy as I still need to buy backing fabric. :fabric:
I now have two shoeboxes full with zillions (well in excess of 2000) of tiny strips of fabric which I plan to start joining together tomorrow. It will be the first time of seriously using my 'new' Singer Featherweight. :vintage:
-
Blimey Brenda....way to go...Have you decided how to quilt the monster yet?
I wish you the best of luck, keep us updated!
-
I'll probably do it the way shown in the long winded YouTube video - one machine seam to add patchwork and backing, align the next strip of wadding, smooth the top layer down and FMQ the new strip taking it up to and over the seam.
But, there's a lot of piecing to be done before it gets to that stage.
-

:o :o Goodness!! I'm reaching for the red just at the thought of all that piecing! What a wonderful quilt it will be. 0_0
-
So Brenda, if we don't see you for a while we know why, you are trying to work your way out from under strips of fabric. I always feel that the cutting is what takes the time, sewing is easier until it comes to matching the seams, but if you can chain piece it's great. You'll have to spray your machine to cool it down ;)
-
What a wonderful quilt it will be.
and with the Goddess of Colour's superb sense of Scrappiness Maximuss, it will be truly awesome ...
We want need pics!!!!
-
Oh brenda, I can't wait to see the masterpiece <3
-
After several marathonsewing sessions :vintage: I've now got 36 blocks, two border strips with corners and lots of mini-blocks for the other two borders.
Because of the way I plan to QAYG it all has to be joined in strips (I don't think quarters will work) it that means that the second two borders will have to be attached in bits to each end of the strips.
It was quite a challenge to get the blocks arranged in the sequence I want, I must label it all before they get moved. Also I must pay attention to the sequences of border strips to keep the pattern correct.
-
Fabulous Brenda, as expected!
They are going to be overwhelmed!
PS ... Sorry but I modified your pic to the right alignment as I was cricking my neck trying to make sense of the borders
-
Wow! That is amazing - and beautiful!!! :D
-
Brenda, that is going to be stunning. I love your arrangement of the blocks, I don't think I have seen that layout before.
-
Absolutely amazing Brenda I love it <3
-
Its beautiful, Brenda.
-
PS ... Sorry but I modified your pic to the right alignment as I was cricking my neck trying to make sense of the borders
Thanks, I realised it looked odd after it was uploaded.
-
Oh that is going to look fabulous when it is done!
-
I've got the backing fabric and it's all ready now for the scary part; quilting it.
Ideally I'd like to do FMQ squiggles over the light parts and something else over the dark parts. A suggestion from the book is parallel diagonal lines, but, the no-sashing QAYG method means only quilting to about an inch or so from the joins and then quilting over the joins when quilting the next strip. In four places the dark abuts the light right on the joins so that is out. -< I'm thinking now that it will be vermicelli squiggles all over.
So, maybe use two different colours, variegated blue over the lights and cream over the darks? or the other way around? I've got both colours of thread.
-
Oh that is just beaut! Regarding quilting thread....I'd be inclined to use the variegated blue thread on the dark, and the lighter thread on the light fabric. I'm thinking with such an eye catching pattern you don't want to "take away' from its striking-ness by introducing contrasting threads to it? The variegation alone will add just a hint of "here I am" to the quilting without competing with the quilt pattern itself. Just my two bobs worth. :)
-
Gorgeous stuff Brenda, just gorgeous ...
I agree with Ruby, keep the cream on the light and the blue to the blue.
-
That's a lovely design, Brenda, and I love the colours.
Sandra.

Brenda, I'm no quilter, but I was looking on Pinterest last night at qayg non-sashed quilts, and one quilt came up, which just had a sort of ric rac machine stitch in straight lines, and it was stunning, it went over the bulkier seams beautifully.
I'll look, but not sure I could find it again....
Jessie
eta, your quilt is lovely
-
I'd be interested to see that B15erk, can you look through your history to find it again ?
-
Tis on my telephone Im, but I'll have a look. Does Pinterest automatically update to my PC?
I will look, it was gorgeous, and the lady made the quilts for charity.
Jessie
-
OK. Had a good ole rootle, and it turns out I got two quilts mixed up in my head.
First up is the QAYG tutorial : http://flutterkat.com/2012/01/my-quilt-as-you-go-process-tutorial-of/
The second is this little beauty, with the machine stitch quilting: http://mamaspark.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/my-charity-quilts.html
Jessie
-
Not getting any tutorial :(
I delete my history from the computer after everytime I have used it, I thought everyone did -<
-
Just checked Low, and both links seem to be working. The second one, which I've just had a quick look at, has a lovely chenille quilt in blue, which looks soooo nice.
Makes me want to have a go.... ;)
Jessie
-
Thank you for those links, they both open fine.
The QIYG one has seams through top layer and wadding which means double thickness of wadding at each join - that's not what I plan to do. It also means that when the backing is applied you still have to get half the width of the quilt under the machine harp. The reason for doing QAYG is to avoid that necessity!
The wavy lines between straight rows of stitches looks nice. I did think about doing a row of fancy stitching along the centre of each strip; or maybe every other strip, but again it would mean going right to the edge of the sandwich and that can't be done as enough has to be left open in order to make the join.
I think it will have to be one of the random all-over FMQ patterns; either vermicelli sqiggles or loopy sqiggles, as once the next strip is done they can be taken over the seam to merge against what is already there.
-
I've been doing a test piece and I was wrong - you can (and maybe even should) quilt right up to the seam line. Then wadding and backing are trimmed to match the top, which should be a straight line. Then the next top strip is placed RS to RS and the next backing strip is placed RS to RS, so 5 layers, and stitch the seam with the usual 1/4 inch seam allowance.
The next bit is a bit fiddly as it has to be right.
Flip the backing open, place the second strip of wadding (which must have a straight edge!) over it and but up to the first strip of wadding and flip the second top strip over and pin the next bit of the sandwich. Use plenty of safety pins near the join. Quilt second strip.
It is good to have quilting going right up to the seam as it holds the wadding securely in place, and taking FMQ over the seam helps blend it all in, but it doesn't have to go over.
So, maybe it's back to the previous plan of FMQ over the lights and parallel lines over the darks, but some thought is needed about the direction those lines will take.
It's the first time I've used the 201 :vintage: for quilting so there's been a bit of experimenting. She was happier with the feed dogs up and stitch length set to 0 than with the dogs down. The tension on the presser foot needs to be very low.
I tried with the old Singer hopping foot but didn't get on with it. :'( But, the modern Husqvarna open toe (low shank) foot I've used before fits and works well. Best thing is that the stitch quality is so much better than I was getting with FMQ using the Husqvarna. 0_0
I've also had the Husqvarna walking foot on the 201 and it's OK.
-
I thought you weren't going to use joining strips ???? ......

These aren't sashing strips Imi, they are the pieced quilt sections. I've seen the very long winded video that Brenda was talking about and it seemed to work. The lady in the video almost sent me to sleep though and I found my mind wandering so well done Brenda for managing to follow it.
-
Yes, the strips I'm referring to are strips made of blocks joined together, not sashing strips.
-
It's finished! 0_0
QAYG in four strips/sections. Quilt the first strip, trim all layers to match top and join second pieced strip and second backing strip, open it up and slide in the second strip of wadding - that is fiddly as you have to get the edges of the wadding firmly against each other - smooth it all, pin baste and quilt the second section. Repeat as many times as necessary,
In the end I did FMQ squiggles aross the whole quilt using the (older) 201 with the modern Husqvarna spring darning/embroidery foot and the stitch length set to 0 rather than dropping the feed dogs. It seems to work better that way. By leaving varying gaps at the edge of one strip I could take the quilting across the joins and from the front there is nothing to tell you that it was QAYG.
It's not quite as big as the quilt on our bed; it was the length that looked most skimpy, but I had made a huge miscalculation in how many strips to cut and had masses left over so I made two pillow shams to match (and still have some strips left :S). The local P&Q shop still had some of the blue backing fabric left but she said the orange binding fabric wasn't from her (Doughty's maybe?) so the binding on the pillow shams are a batik in a very similar colour.
Pillow shams - not put together like ordinary pillowcases. I quilted the fronts and trimmed off the excess wadding and backing then bound one long edge. Then I made the back; hemmed a short end, folded it over 6" and then put wrong sides of back and front together and trimmed backing to match the fronts and then bound the other three sides covering piecing, wadding, backing and back. As usual I used 2" strips for the binding and hand stitched the back of the binding down.
-
Stunning, Brenda. They are a very lucky couple.
Best wishes to them for a long and happy marriage.
-
It's beautiful Brenda, and you can't see the joins at all! I've got to sit through that video and remind myself how it's done. :(
-
Amazing and in just under the wire from the look of that label ....
Congratulations to them, but more importantly ... to you !
All hail Queen Brenda
