Frequently Asked Questions
- What is pieced sashing in QAYG?
- In QAYG construction, sashing is the fabric that joins the individually quilted blocks together after each block is completed. Pieced sashing uses multiple fabric pieces to create the sashing strips, adding design interest to the joining technique. Precise sashing pieces ensure the blocks align perfectly in the finished quilt.
- Why is the 2" finished size significant?
- 2" finished sashing is the standard width used in the Quilt As You Go Handbook and most QAYG patterns. The templates cut pieces to the exact size needed, including seam allowances, for 2" finished sashing strips.
- Do I need the QAYG Handbook to use these templates?
- The Handbook and templates are designed as companions. The handbook provides the technique instruction; the templates provide the precision cutting tools. Having both gives the most complete QAYG working system.
- What other QAYG template sets are available?
- Linda’s carries QAYG Templates Set F and the QAYG Pieced Sashing 2" Set. Together these sets cover a comprehensive range of QAYG block and joining configurations. Check the current listing for the full selection.
- Are these templates compatible with any QAYG pattern, or only specific ones?
- The 2" sashing templates work with any QAYG pattern that uses 2" finished sashing. Check your specific pattern’s sashing dimensions before purchasing.
