No-Hand Sewing Quilt-As-You-Go Methods

Quilt-as-you-go is a great way to join individual blocks that have more intricate designs done with free motion quilting.

METHOD 1

The back of this quilt in this method is real, it just doesn’t get quilted through in the same way as the top of the block.

METHOD 2

For this joining strips method I put the smaller joining strip on the front of my quilt blocks.

METHOD 3

This is the reverse of the front and results in a wider ‘sashing’ look on the front and a thinner one on the back.

METHOD 4

This is my favourite of the methods that involve sashing as I think it looks the neatest both front and back.

METHOD 5

This is great for small projects like keychains and placemats where you aren’t actually joining anything.
