For me QAYG is about not having to fight to get the whole quilt in the machine harp. This method still forces you to do that. If the idea is wanting a solid back wouldn't it be easier to sew each column directly to the backing fabric starting w/ the center and working your way to the edges? That way only the backing fabric is stuffed into the harp.

This is all done by machine. You quilt the panel or block with larger batting and backing, sew front together and then trim batting and sue larger material folded to close back. Much easier than having to put backing on after. To me that makes no sense and double work.

The modern QAYG describes joining top pieces as you go and quilting them to the batting for the whole quilt. The backing is just added at the end sewn on the major seams only and no any extra quilting. The tutorial was for a log cabin design but can be used for others too.

I have not used QAYG method before but this looks like a good option assuming the seams are not too thick when pressed open. With this method you would not create double work quilting the back because you only quilt parallel to the main seams where the blocks were sewn together.

This is the method I used to make a quilt for my brother. The tutorial I used is by Penny Layman of Sew Take a Hike.

I don't like the idea of having to sew strips to cover the seams on the back of a regularly pieced quilt-as-you-go quilt. When I put the backing on, I just stitched in the ditch between the blocks. It went together really easily.
