This has been my favorite joining technique for a long time. It really is the easiest to do.

[@TulipSquare]

It’s definitely the easiest way we know of! 😊🌷

[@janicefender2071]

This is the best tutorial for joining QAYGO blocks. I have twelve blocks ready to join. I did an online tutorial for them but was totally lost on understanding the printed instruction to join them. Been sat in a bag for over a year. Got to get working on them. Thank you.

[@TulipSquare]

Thank you! So glad you found it useful! 😊🌷

[@brandithomas2045]

This is the third video I’ve watched using this technique. Your explanation makes the most sense and is the easiest to understand. Thanks so much!!!

[@TulipSquare]

That's great to hear! Glad it was helpful! 🌷😊

[@conniejenson6797]

Thank you so much for the very good Information on this quilt as you go borders.

[@marylafever4937]

I agree! This makes sense for me now!❤

[@m.s-c5553]

Me too! I also watched two other videos and did not understand until I watched yours. Thank you so much!

[@patriciaturner-davis8725]

This was the absolute best example I have seen. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@TulipSquare]

Thanks so much! 😊🌷

[@irenebaxendale8367]

This is the first time I feel I could do this. Thank you for showing this and explaining so clearly

[@TulipSquare]

Thank you! Glad I could help! 😊🌷

[@softspirits]

I have used this technique successfully before but the way you describe it is so much clearer than the way I learned!!! I can’t wait to try this with a scrap string quilt I’m contemplating!!!

[@TulipSquare]

Thank you! So glad it was helpful! 😊🌷

[@gailbroadaway3531]

I enjoyed the video. I like your no-nonsense straight-forward style of presenting the information. I'm almost your age, so maybe you'll remember the old "Dragnet" show where Joe Friday often said, "Just the facts, ma'am." That's what your style reminded me of. :-) I'll be watching your other videos.

[@TulipSquare]

Haha! Thank you so much for that! Your comment made me chuckle....our fax cover page (remember those?) used to say "Just the fax, ma'am" 😄

[@sonnaolson60]

I agree! Thank you for this helpful video

[@armistrickland7720]

I have blocks ready to be put together and I didn’t have a clue on how to do it. I’m so glad I found your tutorial on this. Thank you!

[@TulipSquare]

Yay! So glad it was helpful! 😊🌷

[@colleenbaker2310]

This is how I've always done QAYG. Thanks for the clear tutorial for those that have never done the QAYG method.

Thank you, we know there's other ways, but we wanted to show the easiest way we know! 😊🌷

[@janicehobbs7023]

I am stunned at how simple this process is - always thought it was difficult to do. Your instructions are straight forward and visuals are easy to see. Keep them coming!

[@Stitcher_in_MD]

Thank you. This video was so helpful to me. I have avoided quilt as you go projects because I didn’t want the joining to look messy. Since I have a bunch of orphan blocks, I’ll try your method and see if my seams will be accurate and have things match up correctly!! Have a great week!

Right?? First of all no apologies needed sometimes we just can’t put words together! Love your blouse I had those a yellow/ white one years ago. Please don’t say your old I’ll be 72 in a blink sew I’m there. Love those tops! Just what I was looking for, you made my day! One of the first quilts I made was a disappearing 4 patch that I turned into a QAYG 😂No pattern for QAYG I had saw it once and remembered! Then I forgot and have 50 plus blocks of sunflowers and 50 plus blocks of the green multi colored backing! Yes yes yes now I can finish! Thank you sew much for reminding me, must write these things down! ❤️ 🤗

[@TulipSquare]

We love those striped shirts, they’re our favorites. Between the two of us, we have a bunch of different colors! Paulette just turned 72 a week ago, so she’s right there with you! So glad you can get your sunflowers together now. Happy sewing! 🌻🌷
