Have you ever tried a “Quilt As You Go” project? Do you sometimes get all your fun out of making the quilt top and don’t want to do the quilting. . . you just want to move on to something new. You know you’re not going to get fancy with the quilting… just a simple stitch in the ditch, so you wish it was done already. Well, with “Quilt As You Go” that’s exactly what will happen. The project is sewn with all layers from the very beginning. That means that whenever you sew a seam you are not only attaching one piece of the top to another piece of the top, you are also sewing through the batting and the backing! Taa daa! You’re sewing, you’re quilting, which is it?! It’s BOTH!

Dinner Placemats will introduce you to the technique. Grab this pattern and some pretty floral fabrics. Or do you eat a lot of spaghetti at your house? – grab some reds. Whichever you choose, just start right in. This project will finish fast and you’ll have the hang of a new technique.

Now that you’re experienced you can try the 6 Hour Quilt. 

Instructions include a few sizes.  This quilt will grow from the center out, quilting as you go, and when you get to the size you want, just stop and add your binding!   Great for a Project Linus donation quilt or for your favorite grandchild (And as every grandparent knows, that means for ALL you grandchildren!)

There are lots more Quilt As You Go patterns.  And lots of other quilt patterns at Quilters Warehouse.  Happy shopping and happy quilting!
