I had some left over squares from a project which were different sizes.  I decided to make 3 blocks with 3 different square sizes.  I added some sashing between the blocks and a small border. 

For quilting the block with the smallest squares, I stitched between the squares horizontally.  I then stitched on the diagonal through the squares. The thread color I used for the entire quilt was medium purple.  It blended well with all of the fabrics.

This is the back of the quilt.

For quilting the block with the medium squares, I stitched between the squares horizontally.  I then stitched on the diagonal through the squares.

For quilting the block with the largest squares, I stitched in the ditch between each of the squares.  Then I stitched on the diagonal twice.  Then I free motion stitched scribbles in the white square triangles. I learned this technique in this Craftsy class Design It Quilt It by Cindy Needham

This is the back of the block with the scribbles.

Here is the table runner on my table. 

How do you quilt blocks with squares?

I had these strips left over from making a Spiral Log Cabin quilt.

I sewed the strips together in to blocks and trimmed the blocks so that they were square.

To make the quilt bigger I added sashing borders with corner squares.  I really like using corner squares in sashing since it makes it easy to line the rows up.

I added a inner border and an outer border to complete the quilt. 

For the quilting, I stitched in the ditch on each side of the sashing.  I stitched in the ditch on each side of the inner border.

For the blocks I used a plastic quilting template.  I used my blue quilt marking pen that is supposed to fade to mark the quilting lines.  I do have lots of quilt marking pens and I never know which one fade and which ones need to be ironed.

However the next day, the blue lines still showed so I spray the lines with water and most of them faded.  The next day I had to spray some of the spots again.  There is some blue in one of the fabrics so it was a little hard to tell if all the spots faded.  The lesson learned is to spray the lines with water after I have finished the quilting.

It looks nice on my table.  It would probably look better on a smaller table.
