If quilt-as-you-go has always felt a little tangled to you, this is going to be such a refreshing watch. In her latest video Sherri from Quilts & Other Happy Accidents tries a brand new four step quilt-as-you-go method on camera for the very first time, and she is so thrilled with the results that she says she may never go back to a traditional quilt sandwich again.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- No sashing required. Most quilt-as-you-go methods rely on a sashing strip to hide the seams between blocks, and this one skips that step entirely, which keeps the design looking clean and uninterrupted.
- No hand sewing. The whole process stays on the machine from start to finish, which is so welcome if hand finishing is the part of QAYG that has held you back in the past.
- Just four easy steps. Sherri walks through the whole method calmly and clearly, and watching her try it for the first time gives the tutorial such an honest, encouraging feel.
Have you tried quilt-as-you-go before, or is it a method you have been curious about for a while? We would love to hear in the comments how you usually finish your tops, and whether this approach would tempt you to try something new.
