NO sash Quilt As You Go
#41
Well, thankfully I found someone who does it this way AND demonstrates it. When she attaches the second row she is not specific but covers it in detail when attaching the third so be sure to read all the way through. http://www.candiedfabrics.com/2013/0...ing-as-you-go/

For a King sized quilt, I wonder if you could use this method to make two or three sections, then join them with another method. My problem with quilting large quilts on my sewing machine is moving the bulk of the quilt around without experiencing pain. Even though this method keeps the previously quilted portions to the left, by the final rows, you're still dealing with the weight of the quilt on the left side.

Back to the crocheting the rows together; not sure yet HOW I am going to do this but it is playing around in my head! One thing is I would try do this qayg method with the blocks to make up the rows, instead of the row-to-row; block-to-block instead. Then I would have to connect the finished rows. Maybe I will start a post with the process of my search and experimentation?>?>?

More thinking on alternative ways to connect rows.....could complete rows, connecting blocks sew-flip, and then connect rows with big buttons and buttonholes? Say on an 8" block have two buttons, sewn on by machine, on right side of block and hole on left side. Naturally, this would work better with a scrappy of framed blocks so not to interfere with design. . . just trying to think outside the block, so to speak!

After reading about other QAYG methods, I think you could use one of them for the final join of two quilted halves. Machine stitch the top pieced layers right sides together, but leave the backing folded back out of the way. Trim and whipstitch the batting together, then slip stitch the backing by hand.
