Hi!
So, today I want to just give a brief
Quilt As You Go (QAYG) Introduction.
But the one we are going to use in this QAL is basically,
Quilting block by block.
Trim the batting and the backing off.
Attach the sashing fabrics for the top and the back.
Slit in strip of batting in the sashing.
And finish it off by hand or machine.
The detail of all of this steps, will be in a complete tutorial when the time comes (October).
Today, I just want you to have a general idea of how we are going about to do this quilt.

Other Requirements
So, since we will be quilting as we go, we will also need to prepare the backing fabrics as we start.
You can use various fabric for backing, and one colour sashing like this:
(you’ll need 9 pieces of 13.5″ square, 1 yard of sashing fabric)
Or all the same for all blocks and another colour sashing.
(you’ll need 1.5 yards for the blocks and 1 yard for sashing)
Other things you will need:
Quilting threads – either one colour or various – matching to your fabrics
9 piece of 13″ square batting and 2.5 Strips of batting (start collecting scrap batting about that size from now or you can always cut the strips from the large batting piece anyway)
Free-Motion foot
Walking Foot
Standard Quilting Tools
An advantage if you have Supreme Slider and Machinger Gloves but not necessary
