NZ, thanks for doing this awesome tutorial. I think QAYG has many advantages- one being to practice FMQ on a smaller piece. I'm still struggling with larger quilts Thanks!

LOL, no problem, SusieQOH. :o

Thank you SewBizGirl. Your tutorial makes this method so much more approachable. What a nice way to enjoy a wider sashing strip. Your method would work on something even wider if you wanted.

How nice of you to post pictures of the process. Thank you! I also like the leaf vine you quilted in the sash!

Repeat to join the next row. Then your "center" should be complete, like this:

To add the border, I used Marti Michell's "encased seam" technique. It's basically the same as putting on sashings, only you need to sew the batting strip onto the backing piece first. Cut the battings 2.5" and sew them on the backing part of the border, but 1/2" away from the joining seam. Then pin the border front and back to the edge of the quilt and sew with a 1/4" seam. When you press it open, the seam will be smooth with no bump and no gap. I do this on two opposite sides, and then the second two opposite sides. Then you have this, all ready to bind: https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...6-img_5017.jpg And here is the back view: https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...6-img_5018.jpg Don't forget to sew on top of the sashings, to hold the batting in place during washings. I like to do curlique lines, but straight lines or any other design is fine too. It doesn't take much. Here is my quilt after quilting the sashings and border with a simple leaf vine.

I love this tutorial, well done. will give this a try

Great tutorial. Thank you. I’m going to give this a try on a baby quilt I want to make. I had wanted to do QAYG but hadn’t figured out how to put it together. This is perfect for what I had in my mind.
