How do you quilt blocks with squares?
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.
