Quilt-As-You-Go Techniques to Try

scrapfabriclove.com

I tested 7 different quilt as you go methods in search of the perfect no hand sewing technique.

Quilt-as-you-go is a great way to join individual blocks that you have quilted with regular machine quilting.

METHOD 1

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

Quilt as You go with Joining Strips (Back)

METHOD 2

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

Quilt as You Go Self-Binding (Fun & Done)

METHOD 3

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.

Quilt as You go with ‘False’ Quilt Back

METHOD 4

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