Quilt as you go demo by Darline Ashford. Darline is known for her thorough explanations and demonstrations and tonight was no exception. She provided us with the information needed and demonstrated techniques she has successfully used. As well she shared tools she finds useful in this technique and told us where to get them. She also showed her ingenious system of sample making and there were lots of ohhhhh's around the room as we all realized the value in doing this.
Supply list provided and links to techniques below.
Hi everyone,
below are the links to the different methods we reviewed. This is an overload of information... enjoy!!
1. Machine stitched Quilt as you Go Hexagon (can be hand sewn vs machine) - this video is very similar but I did not have to press the blocks and I used wonderclips vs. pins as it was easier. If you do not have wonderclips you can you a paper clip or binding clips from and office supply store.
2. Quilt As You Go with Wide 2" Sashing
3. Quilts As You Go with narrow sashing on both sides - there are different videos and some use slightly different wide sashing - the sizes I used in my demo was 1" for the back and 1.5" folded in half - this is a Leah Day video
The video below is well presented to do a full quilt but she uses 1" and 2" folded vs. the 1" and 1.5" fold in half I used - you may have to test to see the look you like the best. The option I use ensures the machine stitching on both side of the sashing stays on the sashing on the front and back, the wider 2" means the stitching will be on the backing fabric like the video.
Another video same idea but a bit shorter
4. Quilt As You Go - no sashing
Another video same idea with a bigger block being used - all machine
The last method with sashing on the back only I am not sure if there is a video but if I find one I will send it out.
