I have made a couple LC using QAYG. I prepared the backing, making it about 2 inches larger than what the finished block would be. Layered the batting on the backing. Center the center patch, and continue from there. If I remember correctly, the outside strips were 1/4 inch wider than the others (seam allowance for sewing the blocks together) I then trimmed the batting, and hand stitched the back seams. I believe I found this pattern many years ago in Family Circle magazine. Think I still have those pages. Probably one of the first quilts I made, so it had to be easy! Good luck with what ever you do.

I obviously don't know what I am doing! I would like to make a quilt as you go king size log cabin quilt. Has anyone done this, if so picture and method you used. I won't it to be completely finished without having to add a backing to it.

When you quilt as you go with a finished back, you will always have sashing, is that correct?

Do have pictures you could share?

I made the same quilt in the late 1970's. The article was by Marti Michell and that was the start of following her designs! My recommendation would be to allow extra seam allowance which can be trimmed back after sewing the front side seams together. Although the quilting lines show on the reverse side, there is nothing on the front (top) of the quilt to indicate QAYG. Good luck! :-)

It is not correct. None of mine have sashing, front or back. I do have seam lines on the back. The front blocks are sewn together without sashing.

humbird, I am sure I read about the QAYG in the Family Circle magazine. Womans Day had some quilting patterns and instructions too. I was going to make them but never did. I was a newbie at the time. We were raising three kids and money was a bit tight time too.

I made a Grandson & Granddaughter in law a king size quilt. I used the double slice pattern by making four smaller quilts and sewing them together. First king I made and the last. Lots of time, ripping and lots and lots of fabrics, used about 5 rotary blades too. The biggest I will make is a large double and that will be for us.

You could make as many log cabin blocks as you need for the size of quilt you need. I plan to use Leah Day's method for QAYG on one of my quilts this year.
