Wow Debbie, what an amazing tutorial!!!! I have never heard of this particular QAYG method and I can hardly wait to try it. I am also loving how some of this method can be done with hand quilting (my new fav thing to do!!) Thank you so much Debbie...you are an incredible teacher.
I’ve been quilting for 20 years and have never seen this unique construction method. This technique is a genuine “game changer.” ‘ Thanks so very much for sharing this, Debbie. I love your tutorials with your cute British accent and soothing voice! I am originally from Texas, so you can imagine how fascinated I am with a British sewing teacher! God bless you!
My mother made a quilt using this method 40+ years ago. She used double knit polyester (readily available at the time) and it was HEAVY... which we liked, because we lived in northern Montana at the time, and winters there can be brutally cold. I remember watching her sew this quilt. Watching you sew it reminded me of how easy it is to do, and brought back many happy memories!
@@moominkraft6427 My husband's family also has this tradition, his mother sews a quilt for each grandchild and great-grandchild. She just finished her 12th quilt. And we aunts are in charge of graduation and wedding quilts.
Love this technique ! Will be great to use individual squares as coasters, or enlarge and make a table pad for warm casserole. Will be perfect for my great niece who is 10 …❤️
I made one simple squares quilt years ago at a night class. I've been wanting to try another, you've explained this so well. I'm going to make one this year. Thanks so much.
Great demonstration Debbie never seen this method before it's a game changer cannot wait to try it ,love all your books and now watching you live on u tube is also a bonus x
I have just made my first block from some random squares of material that I bought some time ago and wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with them. It won't be as pretty as yours Debbie but thank you for the wonderful idea. X
Thank you very much Debbie. Another lovely project to use up fabric. I have lots of quilting books and have never seen this method, so thanks. I'm off to try it.
Well that totally threw me! 😳 I suspected (wrongly) that you sewed 4 triangles...twice....making two squares....then sewed round 3½ sides, face to face, then flipped them out. When I saw you sew 4 squares, I thought you were demonstrating a different shape option... Again, wrongly! 😲 When you folded in half and sewed up the short edges I was like...wtf? 🤔 Then diagonally across the centre I thought....one of us is having a mid life crisis... 😵 Apparently, me! When you finally flipped it out I was like...what kind of witchery is this...? 🧙 That was amazing...a bit of a strain on my brain... But amazing none the less! 🥴 And surprisingly simple! 😁 Just when I think (yeah, I got it wrong again).... that there's no more you can teach me, (from a construction perspective I mean, not ideas!) You bowl me over with this! YEARS I've been watching you.... YEARS!!! Right back to pretty much your first Create and Craft demos! I've been hand sewing since around 4, and machine sewing since around 7 ish, so I've always loved it. Not saying I was any good, from a "proper" perspective at least. I used to figure out ways in my own head to do things or join them up, and to be fair, fancy dress outfits for my daughter when she was little or knocking up gym bags or book bags from old curtains is not exactly rocket science...nor that big of a deal if it goes tits up! 🙄 But when I found you on RUclips a few years back, and thought, ooh it's that lovely English lady from C&C, I started to watch and learn properly. Got all your books. Have a few of your videos on saved lists, and still recommend you to people leaving comments on other people's sewing channels. (🤭 Ooops! Yeah I DO do that!) 😂🤣😅 I didn't think there was any type of sewing construction I hadn't yet seen! I still remember watching your 3 squares of fabric clutch bag and how my brain was trying to guess how you'd go about it... I was wrong, seems to be a habit of mine! 🥺 But that was so easy peasy when you see it done, I could have kicked myself for not figuring it out! THIS ^^^ is the same as that now! Honestly woman, you're amazing. So lovely, so informative, so easy to follow, so filled with knowledge, and as a side note....do you ever age??? 👀 I'm so grateful for your free time. If you had a billion subscribers you'd still be underrated! Thank you! xxxxx 😘😘😘
Always best to...just in case when ironing the seams over you open up the end stitches....at the same time, Debbie knows not to pull at them too roughly. When you quilt them on the outside, those stitches overlap the ends of the joining lines to secure them that way, so it's not essential to backstitch, providing you cover the ends with crossover stitches. Hope that makes sense? 🥴 But, yes, unless told not to for some reason, if the construction requires you DON'T backstitch, which is rare, then it's always stronger and safer to back up 2-3 stitches absolutely. 😘

I have also never seen this technique done. But its brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

My grandmother used to make quilts this way. This is how quilts were traditionally sewn in Russia and Ukraine.
@@masa461 Same here. My late grandma handsewn us quilts like this using scraps of fabric for each newborn grandchild :)

Just made my 1st square, now I'm going to try making little quilt for my new kitten, thanks Debbie
This is the absolute best tutorial for this technique I have seen yet.
Love the vintage Singer in the background!
Love this technique ! Will be great to use individual squares as coasters, or enlarge and make a table pad for warm casserole. Will be perfect for my great niece who is 10 …❤️
Many thanks for another great project. It occurs to me that these squares would lend themselves to making a lovely Fusion Crochet quilt 😊
I bought a quilt at a thrift shop that is like this and wondered how it was made. Now I know!! Thanks so much.
Love this way with the blocks I just may try it. Thanks Debbie. Right now I'm quilting as you go with different 12" blocks.
I made one simple squares quilt years ago at a night class. I've been wanting to try another, you've explained this so well. I'm going to make one this year. Thanks so much.
lovely tutorial, looks like a lot of fun
Oh thank you Debbie you make me want to start sewing again 💜

Such a beautiful wall hanging! Thanks for sharing!
Nice! Thank you so much for sharing this. When I first saw this my thought was table runner. I need to get to my sewing machine... ☺️
Thank you for a quick idea. A very pretty quilt. 😊
How on earth did you think of this! How wonderful❤
Such a fun and simple way to make a pretty quilt or wall hanging. Thanks for the inspiration. 💕🧵
Great ideas, nice little quilt. Thanks for the video. It is much appreciated 😊👍💕
Interesting! I'll have to try a few blocks (squares) to see how it works. TY for another great video!
Game changer love it ,thanks for sharing xx
Thankyou Debbie for this video 👍
Thank you 😊
Great tutorial thanks so much with angel hugs. Have you ever done this method with a different quilted design?.
Could this method be done with a serger instead of zigzag stitch that you used with your sewing machine?
I think if you sized these blocks up just as they are when you turn them out they could be matching cushions to the quilt
Loved your video. I am thinking about increasing the size of an old quilt I would like bigger. Do you think that will work?
Thanks!🤗
I think that would work well!
Great video thanks
You could use extra blocks by themselves as mug rugs for your coffee or gin
Well that totally threw me! 😳

Oh gosh thank you so much! I didn’t invent the technique but it’s one I love doing so thought I’d share, I’m so glad you liked it!
Do you backstitch when sewing these blocks

I know what I’m doing tomorrow
