Question on QYAG Quilts
A couple of years ago, learning to QYAG was on my list of goals for the year (I don't make New Year's resolutions, but do try to have a few goals to work toward), but never did it. Part of the reason is that I keep wondering: Doesn't the quilt end up with "drafty" spots where the sashing is?

When you sew it together (providing that you do it correctly) the batting from one section 'meets' the batting from the next section, so there should be no 'drafty spots'. It is really a neat way to do a quilt.

I've done it before on a queen sized quilt that I was hand quilting in sections for practice while we were on vacation. When I brought the sections home and put them together they went together very nicely and easily. It is reversible (if I could figure out how to post a pic I would) and it is one of my best quilts ever. You should try it!

QAYG is a blanket term for multiple techniques. I can't think of one where you don't butt the batting together, so there's no void. As someone mentioned, if you use the sashing method, you need to pay attention to the width of the sashing. Cut it at 1", finish at 1/2".

Basically just the same technique, just have to allow for the size and include the batting accordingly ... to avoid a drafty sashing!
