Hi again! Well, I've already finished up a few more orders today and now it's time for me to finish up my newest tutorial for Janome, as part of their Independent Design Team. I started this project way back here, and had planned to turn these qayg log cabin blocks into a fun, quilted tote bag, but suddenly I'm feeling the urge to keep going until this becomes a throw-size quilt?
All in black, greys, & whites...
With stitched typography...
And, applique...
What would you like to see, a new quilted tote bag or a new qayg quilt? I'd love your help in deciding!! A HUGE thanks in advance for the help! ♥, Maureen

ReplyDeleteI'm mesmerized by QAYG quilts - keep going! :)
A quilt! I've been thinking of making one and would love to see how you make yours.
ReplyDeleteHi Susie! Thanks for chiming in! Here's a link to my first qayg quilt tutorial -- http://maureencracknellhandmade.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-quilt-as-you-go-tutorial.html
DeleteOh please keep going, would love a quilt tutorial. This is great!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know! but I like what I see so far...I think QAYG!
ReplyDeleteOh lovely.....keep going!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a tutorial for a quilted tote bag :D
ReplyDeleteDo you always need another bag or should I say you can always make one. Make a quilt if thats where the mood takes you!
ReplyDeleteYou are SO creative, Maureen! Honestly, I love the spin you put on everything you make. I'd love to see either one, so go where the wind takes you!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but I'm loving the stack of felt you sent me a little while back. Great scraps too! :)
As much as I like to see new tote bags, I am very curious as what you add to this quilt!
ReplyDeletei would love to make a quilt for our bed, but the only way i'm tackling a king-sized quilt would be to do qayg. i am really liking the bits you just showed us...
ReplyDeleteQAYG!!!! I love your made fabric with the words!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the stitched typography!!! Absolutely stunning!! And I am all about throw quilts :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't know. I would love to see a new quilt! You can use more of that stitched typography! Wow, it's so beautiful! AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteI know it's selfish, but I've been making a few bags lately, so if I were to live vicariously through you, I'd say go for a quilt!! :-)
Have you ever made a weekender? I think they look lovely. I haven't tried one myself (yet), but you could probably use your quilted panels for one of those (if you haven't chosen a pattern for a bag yet).
Either route, I'm sure it will be wonderful.
I love seeing Weekender photos!! I would love to make one eventually, when I get a chance to make something just for me!! Adding this stitched typography to a bag like that would be awesome!
DeleteThat's tough. One can never have too many totes. But you make such lovely quilts. I think I'd go for the quilt. Good luck deciding.
ReplyDeleteI know it, which is why I decided to get some feedback! I'm going with the quilt and I''m excited!! Thanks!
DeleteBoth!! Quilt and matching tote bag!!
ReplyDeleteI agree!! I'm going to go for the quilt today, but I'm going to have to make the bag eventually, as well. It would make the perfect library tote with all the stitched text!
DeleteQuilt!
ReplyDeleteI am loving this! I think it would make a stunning quilt!
ReplyDeleteRegardless of what you decide on it's going to be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, these are too amazing to just stop with a tote... go for the quilt!!
I'm sure that where ever your hearts desire leads you, we will like either one!
ReplyDeleteIf it were me, I'd go for the quilt. White is a bad color for tote bags in my world - the first time I used it, if I didn't spill anything on it, it would still get dirt on it and the lovely crisp white would just look dingy.
ReplyDeleteI think those fabrics would make a fantastic quilt! I say keep going!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see it into a tote or purse bag.
ReplyDeleteI am a Janome owner.
I think it would be a really interesting quilt... But it would make a nice bag too. I think my vote is for a quilt.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a quilt but why don't you start another block there fore you have one started for your tote, I love how you stitched the words I to am a Janome owner and love this feature.
ReplyDeleteA Quilt...that's just too good not to cuddle up with:)
ReplyDeleteA lot of us who are under constant pressure tend to eat too much and
ReplyDeletedo not take good care of their bodies. Even if your small business doesn't have some sort of refrigerator (a rarity today) you can choose vegetable and fruit that do not even require refrigeration. These tips are followed by every pregnant woman all around the world but remember whatever you do, you should first check with your gynecologist so that there is no complication in your pregnancy.

I was going to vote for the quilt as well. Glad to see you have already decided. Waiting to see the finished product. :)
ReplyDeleteTote bag!!
ReplyDeleteA quilt as you go quilt.... because I want to make one too.
ReplyDeleteGo for the quilt maureen!!!the fabric is too beautiful not to.
ReplyDeleteA quilt, for sure. I'm always unsure about how the qayg blocks will come together, and appreciate every opportunity to see it happen. Love, love, love the embroidered text. That is the first thing I've seen that makes me a bit tempted to think about breaking out my machine's stitches.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the quilt!
ReplyDeleteI`d love a QAYG quilt.
ReplyDeleteGo with your heart... I'd love to see this as a bigger quilt too! Love it so far!
ReplyDeleteI would like to see a quilt please. LOVE that it is black and white and that typing is super cool.
ReplyDeleteA tote bag please ;-)
ReplyDeleteQuilt, quilt! She says, making you work harder, sorry! Loving the stitched text, I've never even thought of using the letters in my stitch library for something like that, genius!
ReplyDeleteI love the typography! I have that ability on my machine but never thought to use it in that way. I love your idea for a library tote...I may have to borrow it :) Did you do the letters with the batting and backing or did you do it on the fabric alone? If so did you use any stabilizer?
ReplyDeleteHi Chelsie! That's what's so great about doing this as a quilt-as-you-go, the batting is enough of a stabilizer, so you just layer the fabric you want to add the stitching to onto the batting and go! It's too perfect not to use this as a tote eventually, but I'm going to try for a quilt this time! :)
DeleteI like the qayg lap quilt idea. The typography is great. I've done some stitched text but never this much.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely QAYG larger quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt idea is FAB- especially with your black and white choices - everyone is so afraid to use black in quilts but I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI too think you should go for a quilt because this would have such wide appeal that a lot of them would get made.
ReplyDeleteA quilt for me too - it is already so exciting to see your various different blocks that I want to see more!
ReplyDeleteNew QAYG quilt ...although I'm sure your tote is lovely too :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Maureen! This is awesome!!! I love black and white. (I'm just finishing my little girls spring collection and it is all black and white!)
ReplyDeleteNo matter what you make out of it it is going to be awesome.

ps---That stitched typography looks terrific.
OOhhh.... I really like this, I think it would look great no matter what you do with it, but I think it would look super duper extra cool great as a quilt ;) !!
ReplyDeleteIt's just gorgeous so far! I'd go for a tote!
ReplyDeleteI think it would make a great quilt, but I would make just one coloured block and put it in, it'll look like a giant newspaper!!
ReplyDeleteHad not seen the "qayg" abbreviation before, so had to click on the link. Now I get it! Now, I love me some quilts, but due to the design I also think this would make a lovely quilted book bag, KWIM? :O)
ReplyDeleteWhat you will do will be beautiful, but i prefer a new qayg quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see another QAYG! I loved the first one! I completed my first quilt with that tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI think this would make a really interesting QUILT !!!! x

ReplyDeleteA QAYG tote for me.
ReplyDeletePlease keep going...I love what I see, you have me totally hooked. Your work is amazing and so creative! I always look forward to seeing a new post from you :)
ReplyDeleteOh, pretty please, a quilt. You have just done such an outstanding block already. Love, love the fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see another quilt :)
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous quilt please!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous quilt please!!!
ReplyDeleteThere's no right answer -- but I'm leaning towards QUILT.
ReplyDeleteKeep it going for sure!
ReplyDeleteIt would be perfect as a QAYG project, it's so lovely that I'd love to see it as a throw quilt.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely would love to see the QAYG. Of course, why can't you do both? QAYG turning the finished blocks into as tote? :) I'm not much help, am I? LOL
ReplyDeleteWow, I love it!! I think a tote would be nice, but a quilt would be fantastic also- decisions! You are so talented - thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a QAYG quilt. I think I'm going to attempt my first one soon, so I'm trying to find all the useful info I can.

ReplyDeletehow about a pillow? I love the stitch typography. I think that's something I never get the chance and time to play with my Bernina. It would be so fun and maybe a bit of fun images to go with it.. :) xc
ReplyDeleteI prefer a tote please!and thanks for asking and sharing! Greetings from Germany
