Learn to Quilt-As-You-Go: 14 Projects You Can Finish Fast

I wanted to learn a little more about quilt as you go on a smaller home swing machine. The is to make a larger project in sections that are manageable on a standard machine. This is not the book! It has cute projects and looks like it is a decent variety of the technique, but it plainly states in first couple of pages that this method is only for small projects of limited size. It is not a good method for making a bed sized quilt. I feel that's important enough to mention in the book's description, and it isn't.

I bought the book because I wanted to do the runner on the cover. The book has some other nice small projects. I would consider this a beginner book for this technique. However, if you haven't done quilt as you go before, I would suggest watching some videos first. Had I not done projects prior to this using this technique prior to this book, I'm not sure I would get it by reading the directions in the book. That being said, if you want to try this technique, this would be a good place to start.

This book is disappointing. Maybe I didn't read the description well enough - but do I really need to learn how to "quilt as you go" a pot holder or a placemat? I was hoping for some great quilt ideas, not some small projects that don't even make sense to bother quilting as you go. Unless you are looking to make smaller projects, I don't recommend this book.

directs you to make smaller squares that get pieced together. really makes quilting easy with a home machine. nice projects. I had struggles with full size quilts but Quilt-as-you-go makes it fun.

I really thought this was a book on “quilt as you go”! No, this has some cute little projects to make by piecing and sewing directly on the batting and backing. The small book is photographed beautifully on very nice paper, just wish there was some substance to it.

This book has so many quick and cute ideas. I made a runner from it the day I bought the book. Clear instructions and illustrations.

Some very worthwhile designs projects here but construction methods are a bit outdated.

My bad.I misunderstood the concept. But it is a good and pretty book for reference.

An excellent book introducing you to the quilt-as-you-go technique, filling what has always been a gap in the market for me. Unusually, the projects are first in the book with all the techniques at the back. All methods are clearly explained and illustrated, even down to the best instructions for binding quilts that I have ever seen. While all the projects are fairly small they will give a good grounding in the methods needed and no doubt you will be able to apply them to other, slightly larger projects. The author does issue a caveat regarding size; she does not recommend attempting anything as large as a bed quilt using quilt-as-you-go, but a bed runner is an ideal project. All in all, a worthwhile addition to any quilter's library.

This book has just arrived and it looks great. It has patterns for table runners, a wall hanging, place mats etc. I wanted it to learn more about quilt as you go and it certainly fits the bill. The instructions are illustrated as well as written and they look very clear. It is going to be very easy to adapt the instructions to other projects and it has given me lots of ideas.

What a lovely book full of designs and instructions on making quilts etc quickly using the quilt as you go technique. You will not be disappointed in this book.

A good quality book that is very informative. Looking forward to trying new projects

En el diccionario no define el "Quilt as you go" (acolchando al mismo tiempo) como "Satisfacción Inmediata", pero esa es la definición y la sensación que obtenemos nosotras cuando al terminar el proyecto resulta que ya está también acolchado.  La gran mayoría tenemos un apartado con quilt tops que están ya listos y solamente aguardan el momento de enviarlos para acolchar o que tomemos la decisión de hacerlo nosotras mismas.  Es por esto que muchos proyectos permanecen allí, dentro de esa canasta de pendientes.Este libro nos propone una variedad de sencillas técnicas para que al momento de terminar el proyecto, el acolchado también se haya completado.  Su autora lo sugiere para proyectos no mayores de 50¨o 60¨ (1.20-1.50mts) y esto nos abre la posibilidad a poder confeccionar toques decorativos para la casa y regalos que nos harán quedar a la altura del cielo.  Algo a tomar en cuenta es que siempre debemos de contar con la parte posterior y con la guata o material de relleno al iniciar cada uno de los diseños pues trabajaremos con las tres capas al mismo tiempo.  El libro se divide en tres secciones principales: la primera nos inicia en su técnica con sencillos proyectos (salvamanteles, portavasos, caminos de mesa) para familiarizarnos con su sistema.  En la segunda parte ya se añaden distintos detalles como son los "prairie points", triángulos, coser siguiendo numeración, y otros detalles como integrar la técnica de "ventanas de "catedral" por ejemplo.La tercera y última parte presenta diagramas clarísimos, fotografías al momento de la confección, de la costura de ciertas curvas y en resumen el armado final donde al momento de terminar de montar el bies, el proyecto queda totalmente terminado.Yo pienso que este libro es una gran complemento para nuestra biblioteca de costura pues al ser un libro de técnicas sé que en mi caso lo consultaré muy seguido.
