QAYG - it's pretty fun!

QAYG - stage 1

Much of my time is spent quilting these blocks (edited to add: these are my Bloggers Block-a-Palooza blocks, there are earlier posts about them). It is really fun to be able to spin them around and change the angle without a care to how much of the rest of the quilt has to move.

And here is the back.

And one more.

QAYG - stage 1

I am hoping to get my nerve up to do some interesting free motion quilting, not just straight lines.

I am reading tutorials about how to join the blocks, I will post links to a bunch of excellent ones when I start the joining process.

There are other interesting projects over at Quilt Story, you should have a look.

I want to see how they are joined up too! This is awesome. My little machine does not cooperate for quilting of anything larger than a doll quilt.

These look like your Block-a-palooza blocks- this will be so cool as I was pondering how to quilt mine now that the top is all pieced together.

Nice quilting! And so much easier with smaller blocks than with a whole quilt. I'd love to know how you end up joining them together. I've tried several quilting as you go methods and still haven't found one to use a second time, but someday I will.
