Let’s Give it a Try!

 I most often give some things a try.  The headline stated—“most delicious dessert—so simple  and delicious”. I didn’t doubt the word delicious when I looked at the you tube video BUT then came ingredients list and step by step—not simple by any means.  Yes! Delicious it would be with dark and milk chocolate, whip cream, cream cheese, peanuts, and the list went on and on!  

Needless to say, after the first step of coating a ridged plastic box with melted chocolate, I gave up!  Nope—not simple enough for me! 

Melva loves Scraps blog post for her 2024 quilt along, she stated she was making this project “quilt as you go” I’ll try that!  We are unable to use our local quilt shops long arm machines by ourselves.  I need help getting some tops quilted.  I'm ready to try this method.

In my research, I found several different methods to quilt as you go.  Here is some idea of what is involved. 
There are many different ways you can do this, but the basic idea is all pretty much the same: you stack your pieced block, with batting and backing cut to the same size, sandwich them together and quilt them first, and then actually join blocks together.


Here is one way to complete smaller projects.  I'm interested in trying Melva's way to complete a much larger top.  
Years ago, our quilt group had a brilliant quilter who had her way to quilt as you go.  I did try that method.  She made her garments and small quilts reversible.  
Let's give Melva's method a try!
