Nancy continues with the eighth tutorial for the Quilt As You Go series. She is using the book by Beth Donaldson, Block By Block. The book is out of print but you might be able to find it through a friend, Ebay, or Amazon.
In the last episode, Nancy assembled the blocks together. Look for the other tutorials where Nancy shows how she did the tile designs, appli-quilting, and quilting. In this tutorial, she will show how to put a row together.
Nancy's quilt has only four large blocks. But just know when you work on a quilt with more blocks you will have larger rows as you go. It's not a difficult process but may be a bit heavier.
Nancy has the second row, blocks 3 and 4, on her table. On blocks 1 and 2, the sashing on the bottom has not been quilted so that it can be connected to blocks 3 and 4. Nancy prepared the sashing by pinning back the batting and the backing just like she did with the blocks. She pins the sashing from blocks 1 and 2 directly to blocks 3 and 4 while matching up the sashing sections and cornerstones. Use some bigger pins if possible because the quilt is quite thick. Use a lot of pins to hold the two rows together securely. The sections that are not quilted yet may be a little bigger so you will have to ease in some of the sashing fabric.
Nancy takes the pinned blocks to her sewing machine to sew the rows together. She sews with a normal quarter inch; not a scant quarter of an inch. The extra little bit helps with sewing everything in place. Hold it from the back and in front to ease in some of the sashing fabric. It is best to sew with your walking foot when you are sewing the rows together. Keep sewing the quarter inch down the whole row while sewing over the pins. Keep in mind again that the quilt will get a bit heavy but doable.
The sashing is now stitched to the blocks to complete the row. Nancy removes all the pins and sticks them in her fabulous pin cushion (pattern and kits available at www.onpoint-tv.com/shop). She places the quilt on her table and opens up the back. Nancy pulls the quilt away while pressing the seam. Next she'll trim the batting. You'll want to trim the batting right up to the seam. Take your time while trimming with your scissors.
Using the Heat Press fusible tape, place the fusible side down and position it so it is just up to the seam and press. Pull the quilt a little so the sashing is completely flat. Next fold the backing fabric down. You will want to fold the backing just enough so it goes just over the seam. It could be a half of inch or more or it may be less. Press with your iron as you go. Use Roxanne Glue Baste It to secure the fold down and press again to get the glue to dry quickly.
Take the quilt back to the sewing machine. Sew on the ledge to catch a little past the fold on the backing fabric. The quilt is now bigger so you will have to manhandle it to get it where you need to go. Nancy sews up to the yellow cornerstone block and then goes back and quilts the sashing with a straight stitch. She'll do additional quilting on her other sewing machine in the yellow cornerstones.
Next time Nancy will add borders on the block by block quilt. Borders can always be used to make any quilt bigger. Nancy will show you how using Marti Michell's technique.

You're so welcome!
@@QuiltingWithNancy I ordered the basting glue today and can't wait to get started on this quilt- an heirloom left to a friend from her Nana who, sadly, passed before she got to finish her quilt. An honor to finish it, but it's my first time attempting something like this.
Thank you, Nancy, for this excellent series, very helpful for QAYG information.
Thanks so much for your excellent clear & simple instructions! I’ve loved using your QAYG methods on queen size quilt tops & for adding borders. Now I’d like to try it on a quilt I’m making with blocks on point to make the machine quilting process easier. I can’t find any tutorials so do you think it’s a good idea or not?
Ni Nanci - it is possible but I have not done a video on the technique, but I have done it. You just need to stay organized and treat the setting and corner triangles as individual blocks - it's doable :) - Nancy
Hi😉really love waching your tutorial 😉very helpful for the beginner like me.thank you very much 😉
Your very welcome - Nancy
Love your lessons. So informative and enjoyable. Thank you 💓😃
Hi Nancy - your videos are very helpful and easy to follow. 🙂These QAYG ones were perfect for me to adapt a pattern that was originally not QAYG. However, I have the same question as several people here in the comments. Following your instructions, I cannot separate the fabric and batting when I come to attach the rows,as this is stitched together. What is the proper procedure for the bottom end of the each row - A1and A2 in your video. You gave a link in one of the replies but this just goes to an unobtainable page. I have ordered Block by Block but have to wait for it to come from the USA! Thank you

Thank you so much for your reply. I watched the part of the video you indicated and see what I should do now. Thanks again.
Thank you Nancy Great, Great, Great.
Hello Nancy, can’t find my last comment and your response but never mind. I just wanted to thank you so much for your excellent videos, I watched the joining of blocks qayg several times and asked you about substitute for the iron on tape you use to stabilise the joining seams. Your suggestion of iron on interfacing worked perfectly. My quilt is finished and I am so delighted that I was able to QAYG. Not sure if I can attach photos here by will try. Thanks a million.
Hi ;) - i'm so glad it worked! I did not get photo's, can you send them via email? QuiltingWithNancy@gmail.com
I just looked for the Beth Donaldson book online and you can still get it.
Can you help please with some advice? I have joined 6 blocks together and made a row, now to join the rows together, it is quite lengthy and the fabric isn't long enough to cover one end to another so can I join small pieces together to make 1 long piece? Thank you for a reply.
I wish I had some better advice for you but this is always been my issue with using this technique which is why I started using the Easy Sashings method as shown in this new video.
for the blocks:

For the borders:
ua-cam.com/video/MtKLJ5bp-nU/v-deo.html
To stay with the original plan, you cold trim some of the batting shorter to make there be more fabric to fold over?
I wish I had better advice - sorry.
Nancy
how wide do you cut the sashing to join the blocks? one inch seems a little narrow?
Hi Sherry, that all depends, are you using the Block by Block by Beth Donaldson like I show in the video?
If you join the blocks following your assembling instructions you cannot flip the batting back to join the rows because it is enclosed in the seam. You mention not quilting the sashing all the way but what about the seam itself? Am I missing something?
I have just found the same problem...do you have any answer for this problem?
Yes. Do not finish the seams or quilting at the sashing end of the seams. I left the seams open about 1". I the flipped the wadding up it of the way and finished sewing just the top layer from the end as far as I could back down the last inch. A bit of a fiddle but 'doable'. You end up with a tiny opening in the seam but it isn't a problem. I hope this helps. It is very difficult to explain in words!

I am making a queen quilt for my daughter, my first large quilt ....the blocks are set on the diagonal to make the pattern, but they are in rows, so I thinking this method would work well.
Marty Michells book would probably be very helpful - she covers that as one of her techniques :) - Nancy
Great ❤️
Hi Nancy, I found the book block by block by Beth Donaldson and a few more on ebay, now I can join in and try and make this quilt, you make it look so easy, but I know it's not, it is beautiful, The books are all in good to very good condition. They show some light general wear. The first 2 listed are hardcovers and the rest are paperbacks. QUILTS, QUILTS, AND MORE QUILTS! has a stain on the bottom edge of book about 2" x 1/8" it goes up on the face of page just a little on maybe 10 pages.

Was there a spot in the middle that didn’t have batting. I wondered as there was a dark square, that showed when you were putting the tape on.
WhenI watched you again realized it’s the tape,from joining the two blocks! OOPS
I have the same question as Gary Stimson....
If you join the blocks following your assembling instructions you cannot flip the batting back to join the rows because it is enclosed in the seam. You mention not quilting the sashing all the way but what about the seam itself? Am I missing something?
Hi Nancy, I am trying to find that video but cannot! I am having the same trouble, my seams are preventing me stitching rows together. Thank you Nancy!
Yes, I have the same question. I've made 20 blocks so I hope there is an easy explanation. I ordered Beth Donaldsons book and after paying for it I received a note that it is not available and the book store refunded my money. Is there another book out there that explains how to attach the rows without ripping out the side seam stitching?????
