Typically, all the blocks in a quilt top are joined together and sandwiched with batting before quilting. This can make quilting a challenge on a domestic sewing machine. With quilt-as-you-go, each block is sandwiched and quilted individually. The blocks are then joined with special sashing strips that cover the raw edges.
Yes! If you are comfortable with your sewing machine and using a rotary cutter, you can make this quilt.
No. If you have standard quilting tools such as a rotary cutter, cutting mat, quilting rulers and an iron you are ready to go!
I like the Hobb’s Fusible Batting for quilt-as-you-go because it has a light, temporary fusible on both sides that holds your blocks together while quilting. The fusible washes out and leaves you with a soft quilt. You can also use your favoirte batting and a temporary adhesive spray such as Sulky KK2000 or 505 Temporary Spray & Fix. Please do not use a permanent fusible batting such as June Tailor. Your quilt will end up stiff as cardboard and you won't be happy. Contact me if you have questions about batting.
Choose from 3 projects: 1) a 12-block lap quilt that finishes at 46" x 62" , 2) a larger 20-block quilt that finishes at 62" x 78", or a table runner and placemats.
