I've tried quilt as you go in the past but wasn't really enamored with it. So when Jera's book came out, Quilt as You Go Made Modern. I was intrigued. Her instructions are simple with lots of photos! I instantly delved into make some blocks out of wonky teddy bears! Can't wait to finish!

Reinventing the QAYG process is the content of this book. I made a quilt so fast with this technique and it is super cute! Loved it.

Quilting is easier than ever with Jera Brandvig's modern spin on the popular quilt-as-you-go technique. With this method, you will learn how to piece fabric on to small, manageable batting blocks, instead of using precise paper patterns and cutting measurements. Find your creativity as you quilt directly on the blocks (not the whole quilt!), whether in large abstract zigzags or small structured stitches. After the blocks have been joined, all you need to do is add backing fabric and binding, and your work is finished!

This method combines patchwork and quilting together as most of the quilting is worked in small areas. The fabric pieces are sewn directly onto cotton punched wadding which is cut 11/2" bigger than the finished block. there is no backing at this stage, only two layers are quilted. the quilted blocks are then trimmed to the correct size. After the blocks are joined together a backing fabric is attached, with minimal quilting, before binding the edges.
