And yes there are multiple starts and stops.....that is why when I use this particular method I like to put my back on later. <br /><br />If I do a number of these blocks I set my ironing board right beside my machine at the same height as the machine.MariQuiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024634370648175612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-7175426040889015412014-07-17T14:03:55.532-06:002014-07-17T14:03:55.532-06:00It looks like after each strip you remove the fabr...It looks like after each strip you remove the fabric out from under the foot take it to your ironing table, iron then return the fabric back to the sewing machine thus you are starting and stopping multiple times in every block. Is that correct?

It was wise to follow your directions and do a test sample, initially I used my usual seam allowance and realised I sew with a very scant quarter inch seam, changing to a full quarter inch produced perfect results.<br /> Thank you so much.<br />Best Wishes Pam in Scotlandpromissohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09759285930893382811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-44634378592659080522011-05-18T14:40:26.520-06:002011-05-18T14:40:26.520-06:00Hi Marianne,
thank you for your reply, I didn'...Hi Marianne,<br />thank you for your reply, I didn't know that my blog was set at No Reply, I've edited a setting for replies but still not sure if it was the right one. I really must update the entry from 200?, the trouble is I get caught in the sewing universe and forget anything outside exists. I will take a picture of my Baltimore blocks and send it. The blocks are quilted with a simple diagonal with the quilting stopping half an inch from the edge of the blocks to join sashing, the blocks are marked at 15". As I love to work with applique this was a delightful portable project. I'm sure your QAYG method will work fine, your quilts are quite beautiful.<br />Speak to you soon.<br />Best Wishes<br />Pam in Scotlandpromissohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09759285930893382811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-60333130157247214562011-05-18T00:35:40.519-06:002011-05-18T00:35:40.519-06:00Hi Pam

Your method looks far superior to other QAYG methods. My Baltimore blocks are all hand work, I will however used my machine for seams and hand quilt the sashing, I just wanted to ask do you think your method will be suitable for this?<br />Best Wishes<br />Pam in Scotland UKpromissohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09759285930893382811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-72944429583018451392011-01-22T04:13:19.429-07:002011-01-22T04:13:19.429-07:00I wrote in Russian, apparently thought. -)))I wrote in Russian, apparently thought. -)))Капитолина Журавликhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930407915829930881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-62100281018083392312011-01-21T19:29:17.570-07:002011-01-21T19:29:17.570-07:00Это работа ваша очень красивая.Это работа ваша очень красивая.Капитолина Журавликhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930407915829930881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-38807574168771804862011-01-20T21:50:51.425-07:002011-01-20T21:50:51.425-07:00Hi Deb...I hope the following helps.
18 inches is ...Hi Deb...I hope the following helps.<br />18 inches is the largest block I have made using this method.<br />12 inches is probably the smallest I would go, because anything smaller means more blocks to join and that means more joining strips...which I personally don't care for.<br />Regarding the backing question...how the quilt is to be quilted is not really the issue. If you look at the last photo, where I show you the back of the block....those are the sewing lines from sewing the strips on, that I want to hide. I added a couple comments on that photo after reading your questions.MariQuiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024634370648175612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-20093883303762337602011-01-20T20:51:06.761-07:002011-01-20T20:51:06.761-07:00Ok first off, I WISH I had your stash! The fabric ...Ok first off, I WISH I had your stash! The fabric you chose for this quilt is awesome!<br /> Picking out fabric is one of the hardest things for me to do! ( I wish someone could do it for me. ) Do you buy your fabric online? Do you have a favorite online fabric shop?<br />Do you always go with 14 inch blocks? Do you go smaller or bigger? If so how small or big have you gone?<br />You said that you would not add the backing fabric at this time because of all the starting and stopping. If you were doing spiral quilting would you add it at this time?<br /><br />Sorry for all the questions.. I'm still waiting for the books I ordered to come.<br />Thanks for the tutorial!<br />Hope you are enjoying your get away.<br />DebDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03951680905658205957noreply@blogger.com
