Episode 17: Appliqué, Sashings and Joining with QAYG

Get ready to see your ExQISSite Quilt take shape! In this episode, we’re diving into the exciting process of joining our quilted blocks together using my quilt-as-you-go method.

I’ll guide you step-by-step through: Trimming your blocks (like block A2!) for perfect alignment. Using your pre-cut spacer strips, made from your backing fabric, to connect blocks into rows. Accurately sewing these sections, with advice on adjusting spacer strip lengths to fit your unique block sizes. Choosing, placing, and attaching your beautiful sashings over the spacer strips – including my technique for glue basting for a flawless finish before that final stitch with monofilament thread!
