Queen Sized Quilt Made With QAYG Method

I named this quilt ‘the beast’ because it seems like such a huge quilt compared to the mostly throw sized quilts and baby quilts I’ve made before.

In order to be able to quilt it on my domestic sewing machine, I knew I had to do this one quilt-as-you-go style.

[{"selector":"#anim-327ad480-e57e-4a3e-b73c-fba56d9fa876","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e8f0ca95-382c-480b-8e2f-b38a1c6c3c2a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -98.22019%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":300,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5773dfd3-9828-430f-8b20-a14b06115a59","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Instead of sewing the rows together I sewed the columns down and joined them into four sections of 2 by 10 blocks.

I usually use cotton batting or 80/20 batting. I basted the backing, batting and column of blocks the same way as you would a whole quilt.

I quilted straight lines on either side of the ditch at regular intervals in the quilt blocks.

I just sewed the two quilt top layers together right sides to right sides with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

[{"selector":"#anim-b44c5fac-dcde-4e40-9447-68eaef8f42fb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9c74a6d7-44f0-4528-be3e-7a6c70ac5aa5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Once the top sections were joined I placed the two sections on the floor and ironed open the seam down the middle.
