This beautiful block is fun combination of half square triangles and squares. We're going to brush up on our triangle piecing skills this year and master lots of machine quilting techniques as well.
A full sized quilting diagram is included in the pattern for
you to print, cut out and tape together to mark the quilting design on your block. Within the quilting diagram you'll find a fun sun motif, Sharp Stippling, skill building straight lines, and Hot Path in the outer border.
Why do we mark the quilting design?
When you're first learning how to machine quilt, you have to do so many things at once - move the quilt under the needle, maintain a matching speed with your machine, and
quilt the design smoothly over the quilt.
After guiding thousands of quilters through quilt alongs for the past 5 years, I've learned that having a marked design is essential. It takes the guess work out of the design and allows you to focus completely on moving the quilt and balancing your speed to create beautiful stitches.
How do I join the party?
Each month a new block will be available for this sale price for the first five days, so make sure to always get your block at the beginning of the month for the very best deal.
Are you ready to
party with us? Josh and I have worked very hard on this new quilt along and we hope you enjoy learning how to piece and machine quilt each block of this beautiful mystery quilt with us this year.
Let's go quilt,
Leah Day
