Re: looking for advice - QAYG
I'm doing a QAYG Carolina Lily Quilt. I think it will probably come out to be about 100 x100. Originally the pieces for the Lily were to be pieced but it wasn't working right so I appliqued everything. Then I quilted each block as I went. I didn't want a lot of quilting so I just quilted twice around each lily. Now, I'm putting the pieces together. You're supposed to be able to machine sew one of the layers but I wasn't comfortable with that so I'm hand sewing the whole thing together. If you want, I can send you progression photos. I'm about 1/2 way through sewing the whole thing together and I'm still trying to figure out how to do the border. I'll have to hand quilt it . . . wouldn't make sense to change now. I really did enjoy hand quilting the pieces in the evening sitting here with my husband instead of being upstairs all by myself.
