The rest of this blog post is to share some beautiful Quilt As-You-Go (QAYG) projects that will be in the book. Let me start by telling you how I got started on this adventure that became this book…
It began with my blog, www.QuiltingInTheRain.com, which I started four years ago as a creative outlet from my 9-5 job, and as a way to share with the world that quilting doesn’t have to be as daunting as it appears! It was actually my husband who encouraged me to start a blog. I’m a self-taught quilter – the first quilter in my family! My motto has always been to “let your creativity Rain!” That being said, when it comes to quilting I like to bend the rules. I find quilting more enjoyable and creative when doing so. 🙂
After having my son (who is now 2.5 years old!), I found myself quilting in the wee hours of the night when handling a rotary cutter and trying to cut precise measurements from a pattern just wasn’t happening. Not to mention that my crafting room became my son’s nursery so I was ‘downgraded’ to a little sewing nook in my dining room. That’s when I started quilting as-you-go.
I started with making QAYG pillows and table runners and then decided to try
making a whole quilt. I was enthralled with this technique because I was able
to complete a full size quilt on my smaller sewing machine, from start to
finish! It feels good when you can say that. Also, it’s a truly creative way to
quilt that doesn’t always require a precise pattern.
making a whole quilt. I was enthralled with this technique because I was able
to complete a full size quilt on my smaller sewing machine, from start to
finish! It feels good when you can say that. Also, it’s a truly creative way to
quilt that doesn’t always require a precise pattern.
You can easily accomplish intricate quilting on a basic sewing machine because you’re quilting onto smaller, and therefore more manageable batting blocks. Once all your blocks have been quilted, all you need to do is assemble them, add backing and bind it, then you’re done!
People always ask how I crank out so many quilts so fast
having a part-time job and a kid, and it’s all thanks to this technique. I set
totally doable goals and try to quilt at least 2-3 blocks/day. You don’t need a
lot of space to lay out your fabrics/blocks because you’re quilting directly
onto the batting, so it’s easy to start and stop. By the end of the week I
typically have enough blocks for a whole quilt and since I’m literally
quilting-as-I-go, I have a nearly finished quilt!

I started teaching QAYG classes and it was a hit because it’s such of a practical technique. If you don’t have along-arm sewing machine, gone is the frustration and physical strain of trying to quilt and pull a big quilt sandwich through your sewing machine. And no more unfinished quilt tops lying around!
I am truly thrilled to be sharing this technique with you.
It’s a great technique for a new and seasoned quilter. In my book I discuss how
you can follow a traditional pattern and still apply this QAYG technique, or
you can make a quilt without a pattern using an improvisational style of QAYG,
as shown above and below. It’s a really creative and way to quilt, and it’s simpler
than it sounds!

Below is a preview of some of the quilts that will be in my book (if the exact quilt is not in there, the pattern will be!) Once you learn the technique discussed in the first chapter, you’ll be able to look at any pattern and figure out to finish it using QAYG.
Also, a fun little tid bit: I’m from Seattle so I’ve named all my quilts Seattle-themed. The strip quilt above is called Solstice Parade (named after a parade that takes place every summer in Fremont, a neighborhood in Seattle) and the one below is Portage Bay (a bay located near the University of Washington).
(Above: Paige modeling ‘Ballard Blocks’ from Quilt As-You-Go Made Modern)Oh! And for all of you fans of my furry-child and quilting buddy Paige (pictured above), you’ll be happy to hear that she has a whole page (no pun intended!) in my book dedicated to her, because she’s a diva like that. 😉

Thank you for stopping by! Don’t forget that you can also find me on Facebook and Instagram as well.
I hope this book brings you lots of creativity and many finished quilts! I am so happy to be sharing this simple and fun technique with you all!
Let your creativity rain, and happy quilting-as-you-go!

Thanks for your creative ideas…and I love love love your blog and the wonderful colorways….I would enjoy a copy of your new book !!!
jeanieheath@charter.net
CONGRATULATIONS! The book looks great! I did a couple of quilts way back when I started using the QAYG method of the 90s,I don't know if I could even remember so I'll enjoy getting an update to this great technique!
I adore your quilts I could really use this as I make really large quilts for people and it's so hard to quilt them pretty on a regular machine. Always love seeing your adorable son and dog on Facebook. Just joined instagram so I'm following there too. So attracted to the fabrics you use. Wish you the best of luck with your book! Terri C itc0002@sbcglobal.net
How fun! Congrats!

Your pictures of the quilts are beautiful! The fabrics are so vivid …quite eye catching. Your concept of quilt as you go is a winner with me!
I would love to learn your quilt as you go technique! I always stall at the quilting when making a quilt so this may make it more manageable for me. ksanderson@hotmail.ca
I can't wait to try your technique! No more aching shoulders … icandash@gmail.com
I'm so excited for this book! I've been waiting a couple weeks for its release since I first heard about it. I'm brand new to quilting and can't wait to try this method since I don't have a super fancy machine. I love that everything is named with Seattle in mind, I'm a Washingtonian myself but moving around the country with my Army hubby 🙂 Congrats on the book & success, excited to support a fellow Washington lady!! k17.dunn@gmail.com
You make it all look sooooo easy! Can't wait to have your book and finish two quilts!!

Your quilts are beautiful. I find this technique interesting and would love have your book to try it! Thankyou!! (sandybailey55@hotmail.com)
Hi Jera. I am waiting impatiently for my copy of your book to arrive in the post but a signed copy would be just the cats pyjamas! If I was lucky enough to win one I would gift my ordered book to a friend. I just love everything you put together and can't wait to try your QAYG technique. I have my quilting mojo back after a hiatus where I have been cross stitching. I can't wait to start. Thanks. Jocelyn

Congratulations!! Your quilts are amazing!! I would love a signed copy… Wouldn't that just be extra special??!!
I'm in love with your quilts and sooo excited for your book to be released!!! peterunrau@hotmail.com
So excited for you! I am also super excited about this book too. I love to quilt, but can't afford to send my quilts out to be quilted, so I have been quilting them on my extremely small home machine. Sometimes quite frustrating, actually frequently frustrating. I have been just starting to look at this technique, so your book is coming at an excellent time. I can't wait. CDahlgren at live dot com
I am REALLY looking forward to your book. I love the QAYG method, but I'm excited about learning some updated ways.
cute, fun, bright quilts! look forward to making some of my own!
I am a quilter-wanna-be, but I'm so intimidated by the whole process. My grandmother made quilts, and I want to continue the tradition. I have a great sewing machine, and plenty of material. I just need help to get going. I would love a copy of your book to help me create beautiful quilts like yours. They are so different from the standard, boring, blah quilt patterns that I see everywhere. Congratulations on your book! Thanks!
Congratulations on the upcoming launch of your new book!! I look forward to your posts and pictures on Facebook and your blog. I love the modern look of your quilts and the colours that you use. I'm looking forward to your book so I can learn how to make fab quilts like yours!!

Congratulations on the book !!!! I am a big fan of QAYG since taking my first quilting classes WAY back in the mid 1980's …… those classes were based on Georgia Bonesteel's "Lap Quilting" method ( basically QAYG but she did all hand quilting). Anyhow, I'm happy that QAYG has a new generation of followers …… and I'd LOVE to win a copy!!! My email is maryannedrury@gmail.com
Congratulations on the new book – and keep up the quilting adventures!
Love your quilts! I made one of them for my niece to take to college! I have never done a QAYG, but would love your book to teach me how!

I really like the look of your quilts and I think the QAYG method is such a good idea. I have a whole lot of project on the go, but will need that extra quilting step when I finally piece the tops together – your way makes me want to check out your book! So, I am dropping my name in the hat so to say, and if your choice ends up being me – I will be thrilled!! If not, I am going to have get this masterpiece another way!! 😉
Looking forward to your book, whether I buy or win it :). My sewing space is tucked into a corner of my home office and library, so I never have space to manhandle a large quilt. Also, a page of Paige is perfect!

My first quilt made 20 years ago is a sampler I made in a class where we used the quilt-as-you-go method. I loved it for the same reasons you mention. I also lost my sewing room to babies, but now my first baby has moved out and I have a new sewing room and would love to try some of the more modern quilts in your book.
I can't wait for this book!! So inspired by you!!

Best wishes for a huge success at your book signing!

I love QAYG! I have read some of your tips and make my first totally QAYG picnic quilt a few months ago. I would love a copy of the book but even if I don't win one, I will definitely purchase it!

Love your color combinations and style — so refreshing! And I am wanting to try your adaptation of the QAYG technique!
Hi Jera, I learned how to quilt from you! I followed your rag quilt tutorial and made my first quilt for my son. I would love a copy of your book to learn how to make more of your quilt-as-you-go quilts! Tricia (triciayantha@gmail.com)
Congrats for your book!! I love your inspired quilts and I wish to win a copy of your (I'm sure) great book. Thank you!! e-mail:karmis@windtolls.gr
I am so anxious to get my hands on your book! I just love the way you put fabrics together–my first quilt using your book with be as close a copy as I can get of the "low volume" floral in the first picture with Paige…..LOVE.THAT.QUILT.!!!
Would love to learn how to quilt as you go. I like things that make quilting faster so i can get to the next project sooner.
Just finished the top of my first ever quilt that I will hopefully take to uni with me as a rather big piece of home! Quilt as you go does sound a lot easier!
victoria_wyatt@live.co.uk
Thank you for this wonderful giveaway chance! You are right – I have so many quilt tops waiting for the finishing touches, but I dread the quilting part – so on to the next quilt top I go instead. Your book sounds wonderful!
Amazing new book. I wish it soooo much !
zuzana.gibalova@gmail.com
Thank you for sharing this with us. I have always wanted to learn quilt as you go methods and this sounds fantastic — I am ready to try it.
Thanks for sharing your book and life and son and dogs. I would love to win your book. Thanks.
This is the book for me. I love making quilt tops but then I am too afraid to try to quilt them on my standard machine, and having them quilted costs too much. Hope I win. Thanks, Kathy

I'm swooning over these quilts. I'd love to win your book! ginasears62@gmail.com
I want this book so bad! I can't quilt large quilts on my old sewing machine and it's expensive to keep sending them out. I want to learn this method of quilting. Thanks for the chance to win.

This looks like just the solution! Must have this book!
Congrats on your publication! I've never done any quilt as you go, but would love to try if I won a copy. Thanks. My email is linked.
I've enjoyed following your blog for quite a few years now and can't wait for your book 🙂
Beautiful quilts. I so need to learn this technique, after I finish a quilt top it just doesn't get finished because it is to big to cram and manipulate at my machine. Thanks for the chance.
Great photographs! Congrats, this looks like a beautiful book. I would love to try this technique!
Great photographs! Congrats, this looks like a beautiful book. I would love to try this technique!

Congratulations on the new book, and I'm hoping I am one of the fortunate winners of this giveaway. Some year back, I made a quilt as you go quilt and gave it away to our daughter.

Congratulations! This method looks right up my alley!
Hi and thanks so much for the chance to win one of your wonderful books. I could afford it on a lay-a-way but not so much on a senior fixed income, so hoping I will luck out and win one. IF not…an early congratulations to the ones that win. I've always wanted to do a quilt as you go project.
in addition,for any concerned, I make and give away (postage included) dolls for kids with cancer and other devastating diseases. this is not a corporation and is non profit so has been dependant on donations. So far 198 have been given out since 2007, and we shall continue as long as possible. check out http://www.dollsforverysickkids.com for further information.. wordpaintervs@live.com to write me and my name is Vickey Stamps
the dolls are 2 foot tall, and meant to comfort a child in need of that, during a bad part of there life. contact me if you know of a child like this. Receiving a doll DOES NOT DEPEND ON A CONTRIBUTION AT ALL
This looks awesome! I am new to Quilting, and I think this book will really help me.
Oh wow! So glad I've found you! Loving your creativity and would so love to win one of your signed books!

Really beautiful quilts and a great technique which I would love to learn – fed up with hauling my quilts through the small throat opening of my machine. Fingers crossed to be one of the chosen ones.
Can't see my last comment so I'll try again. Would love to learn this technique to save my shoulders while quilting. Love your designs and fabric choices. A long time reader of your blog from over the pond I am always a little sad when I see mentions of your classes in Seattle as I know you're justt toooooo far away for me to get to one 🙁 Winning one of your books would help with that.
clothkitty at tiscali dot co dot uk
I've just discovered your blog, this technique looks so do-able. I look forward to seeing your book – Its now on my wish list.
I completed my first quilt-as-you-go project last week. It was so fun, fast, and horribly addicting! Thanks for the giveaway.
I am very interested in learning this technique. Seems like the perfect way to practice fmq on a smaller, more manageable scale and finish pretty quilts at the same time. Can't wait to get a copy of your book. Thanks for the chance to win!

I am just getting into the "modern" movement and would love a copy of your book. It's getting much more difficult for me to maneuver large quilts on my home sewing machine. Thanks for this opportunity. phoebewolf5@hotmail.com
Your quilts are so lovely! I have two goals these days: to learn to QAYG and to sew my first modern quilt. Your book is perfect for this!

Congratulations on your book! The very first quilting lesson I took when I first moved to Seattle was with you, which was a private binding lesson. You were so sweet and patient. Can't wait to see your book in person!
I am always looking for new ideas and shortcuts to make quilts for the Santa Train and our wounded military men and women. I could really put this book to good use. Thank you for the chance to win.
Would love to win! barbjolly@sbcglobal.net
Looks like a great book. I'd love to try quilt as you go.
I just ordered your book. Can't wait!
My book came in the mail today! I am so excited! I quickly ran all my errands for the day and am settling in the big ole Papa bear chair with my sweet tea to read from cover to cover! I have never anticipated a book (other than the Harry Potter series) as I have this one! Congratulations on your first book.
love to see your blog, lot of ideas. thanks
All of these quilts are gorgeous! Congratulations! Thank you for a chance to win.
Just received Quilt As You Go Made Modern in the mail today Jera. It's a beautiful book and I cannot wait to start using the techniques you use!
Hello Jera, I bought your QAYG made modern recently, but am having a problem getting quarter inch seams through the batting, evenwith my walking foot.
should I use more than a quarter inch to compensate?
Do you mean your needle is having trouble getting through the batting? Try putting your stitch width at 3.5. If the stitch width is too small, you will have issues getting through the batting. Also, did you use needle punched batting?
I would love to learn more about this technique. I am a teacher and don’t have a lot of time but I love to quilt! This sounds like a great idea. I would love to win your book!
Just discovered your blog…love you style and color choices. Would love to have your book!
Love your twists on some old favorites! can’t wait to try them, congrats.
I love the quilt with bright colors and your new book is beautiful. I would love to make a quilt out of your book. I’ve been collecting reproduction prints from 30’s & 40’s. After falling and breaking my leg I’ve done a lot of appliquéing. Thank you for your blog.
I have never tried QAG but after reading your blog and seeing all your lovely quilts i would love to have a go. Thank you for sharing.
I love your work! It’s clean & fresh & your book (QAYG Made Vintage) is wonderfully pictured & easy to understand. I love fabrics that have rich colors & roses, full thick lush roses or florals are my fav. Loved your spin on designing fabric from tea cup patterns. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next. Am going to use one of your methods to QAYG one of my projects. Also, love your videos!
Thank you so much for creating this wonderful book in the midst of your full life! I currently live in a small apartment and am teaching myself quilting. It’s amazing therapy and your creative approach has opened so many doors for future creations. Your little boy is adorable! I well remember my grandsons at that precious age. Warm wishes, Gini

I LOVE your website!!! … your creative ideas … and your little boy … and your little dog! I am learning so much about quilting by wandering through your ideas. Thank you. I would love a copy of your book.
Thank you! The giveaway had ended however you can find my books at Barnes and Noble, crafting stores and Amazon. =) happy sewing!
I am a beginning quilter, and so far I have found your unique way the best way! Thank you and God Bless! Geneviad@securglass.us
Would love to learn more about your QAYG technique. The book sounds great! Thanks.
I am 77 and would like to do these quilt as you go patterns you show. Love the cottage shabby and chic look although there is nothing shabby about these quilts. On a limited income,can’t always get the books and other things I enjoy, so hope I win one.
I watched some of your videos and loved them. I volunteer for a charity that has a quilting bee every year and those quilts are put into a quilt closet to be given to those in need who come in for help. This last year was our 23rd year and we have made and donated over 6000 quilts. I have been hesitant to try the QAYG method but would love to try it after watching your videos and would love to have one of your books. My email is pdavistx@hotmail.com
This concept of quilting as you go sounds like something I would really like to try! The quilts that you have displayed are beautiful!

Hi there! I realize this post is old, but I was curious about the quilt pattern for the 5th (corgi laying on the quilt) and 6th photo on this post? It looks really similar to what I have in mind for a floral/strawberry quilt. I am new to quilting and just curious! Thank you so much!
I will also be checking out your book!

Hi I just found your blog on Pinterest. I’m impressed that you have time to write 2 books while working in research. Kudos to you. Carol
I love your quilts and saved some to my Pinterest. I would like to learn how to quilt as you go
You blog is nice and your quilt projects are beautiful. I found this page from a link on Facebook. However i was disappointed to see that your blog is now 6 years out of date. the free book give away is long over. Have you abandoned this blog or are you going to update it ?
I was so looking forward to get your book, but have you stopped doing the book give aways and your classes ??
Such beautiful quilts!
