Hi , 

Have you ever tried Custom Quilting? This is a longarm quilting term, but it generally refers to quilting different designs into the different areas of your quilt. The specific quilt spaces you can focus on are:

• Quilt Blocks
• Sashing between blocks
• Shapes like triangles and hexagons
• Quilting Borders

This week I've shared a new quilting video on how to do custom quilting on a regular sewing machine (no, this isn't just for longarm quilters!) using our Spring Flowers Quilt Stencil Collection.

Using these paper stencils made custom quilting my quilt panel so much faster and easier - yes, even when push quilting on my home sewing machine!
 

I love how easy it is to place and quilt designs in the blocks, sashing, and borders. It was really surprising how fast this quilt was to finish and with a unique, custom quilted design that looks a lot harder to quilt than it was:

If you'd like to give this a try, you can follow along using any quilt you have in your stash, or you can try our Spring Quilt Panel for Spoonflower.
 

You just need 1 yard of the Signature Petal Cotton Fabric to make this beautiful baby / lap quilt.

That's it for this week, . I hope you enjoyed learning these custom quilting techniques. If you enjoyed this quilting tutorial, make sure to open next week's email as I'm sharing a detailed tutorial on custom quilting borders. 

By mixing and matching the pieces from the Spring Flowers Quilt Stencil Collection, you can quilt a continuous line border design into any size quilt!

Let's go quilt,
