    When I learned QAYG several years, it has really helped me get more done. PLUS.....I love making 2-sided quilts now. People will say the back is just as pretty as the front. I sometimes just use leftover fabrics or scraps / FQs or fabrics I know I don't really want to work with anymore and put these on the back. Really helps with busting the stash.

    I mostly work on individual blocks and put them together but this limits pattern selection a little.

    I'm starting to tackle patterns that need to be put together as a complete top to see the pattern (if that makes sense) so these get quilted in rows then put together ..... kind of like "flip and sew". I think Jenniky shared one of these methods previously.

    Enjoy the learning process of QAYG. Once you master it, you'll love it !!

    I'm so glad to see you after the winter craziness! I will follow along as can do. I love your top! And I love the gorgeous black and white finished quilt!

    Just and update. Im still working on piecing the top for the tut. I ran out of materials to make the quilt top design I had planned so Im working on shifting the pieces now to make a one row smaller quilt using what I have available. Definitely need a cheering section as I move along on this project. Definitely not as fun as the first QAYG tutorial. Guess I best get to it this morning..

    Oh Jenni! It is so frustrating when you have a plan and things don't work out the way you want. We are looking forward to what you have for us to learn. When you are ready to post, we will be waiting!

    Hugs!
