Let's Piece a Diamond in the Sky

Diamond in the Sky Block
Hi ,

Are you ready for the newest block in the Machine Quilting Block Party? So far we've pieced and quilted nine beautiful blocks and this month we're starting the 10th block - Diamond in the Sky.


In this block you'll learn how to piece a Square in a Square block and template-pieced triangles. Template piecing is a great way to create unique shapes very accurately.

For machine quilting, we have another marked sun motif for the center, some Sharp Stippling and Pebbling in the triangles and Matrix is back for another beautiful flow through the background.

Today is also the first Monday in October, which means the piecing video for the block is already out! Learn how to piece this block step by step with me today. Click Here to learn how to piece this block.
Block Party Quilt
With nine blocks pieced and quilted, last month I began putting them together using my favorite Quilt-As-You-Go technique to bind them together. Click Here to find the tutorial on connecting your quilted blocks.

If the idea of quilting a real quilt scares you, remember the Machine Quilting Block Party is a great project for building your skills one block at a time. Click Here to join the party!

Let's go quilt,
