Using Left Over Squares - Different Square Sizes

17/7/2014

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.

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

How do you quilt blocks with squares?
