I always sew the blocks for the rows across.
Some will sew the blocks for the rows down.
I don't really think it makes a difference, just a preference as to how you want to do it.

It's really hard to find such thread. Any suggestions? I got a variegated yellow one b/c I intend to do the backing in variegated yellow.

Thanks

You're planning on free motion quilting?

That is great. I love the colors and just like you I am scared to do the quilting to. I have several things that need to be finished and quilted. Just scared to try and really do not know where to start.

I think so-- if I quilt in the ditch I will wound up with jagged lines which will be obvious on the back since I have a few squares that didn't line up as well as the sample pictured here. However, I've never free motion quilted so I'm wondering if that won't actually be worse in the end, but I'll have to bite the bullet some time... why not now... debating.

Awesome color combinations!! That if VERY pretty!!!

I think I will look at this quilt as a learning quilt. I'm now considering doing the stitch in the ditch and then do free motions quilting of different kind between each stripe or square or whatever I decide. Pondering... Call it a free motion sampler or something like that. I think by the end of the quilt I'll have that scare bug out of my system :)

I have made severtal Yellow Brick Road quilts. You sew blocks into horizontal rows, then rows together two at a time and then all. My pattern has a suggested layout but it isn't necessary. YBR is so easy and adaptable. Enjoy!

I have actually used like the yellow varigated on the back where you want it, then I've used a monofilament on the front. I know...I know...the cotton thread police can come chase me down, but I always use the mono for my stitch in the ditch (because I'm not nearly as good with my matching up as I'd like to be..so it doesn't show with the mono)..then when I didn't want the quilting to take away from a fabric or change the color of it..I've used the monofilament. It seems to work just fine and I don't mind that it isn't 100% cotton.
