How do you foundation-piece a quilt block within the hoop?
The genius of the Completely Pieced system is that you may basis piece excellent quilt blocks. That is achieved on stabilizer inside the ring of a stitching machine geared up with a machine embroidery arm. (I’m utilizing the Child Lock Altair II.)
There are two totally different choices for constructing your block: merely piecing the block instantly onto the stabilizer, or a quilted model the place a layer of batting is included earlier than piecing the block after which personalized quilting is stitched on prime.
The block shapes are stitched to the stabilizer – and on this case, proper on the batting – after which the items are added so as, similar to with basis paper-piecing.
(Batting is trimmed – see block under left – to the precise measurement of the block, leaving a ¼” seam allowance all the way in which round. This eliminates the majority within the seams when piecing the blocks collectively.)
Solely this time you are working from the highest (no flipping papers and cloth the other way up) and constructing a perfectly-pieced quilt block. Blocks on the left and heart are 4″ blocks with batting/customized quilting. Blocks on the left are 2″ blocks, pieced solely (no batting or quilting.)
With a big hoop, you too can piece a number of blocks on the identical piece of stabilizer with out having to re-hoop.
Every month there are 4 totally different undertaking and sample concepts made utilizing the featured block that month. That additionally offers you infinite choices for enjoying with blocks, substituting these blocks in different initiatives and many others.
Here is a have a look at what undertaking choices are provided with this month’s field:

I completely love this month’s Sugar Cone block. It is a block I’ve wished to play with for years, however at all times felt a bit of intimidated by the angle of the triangle, and many others. With the ability to piece it with foundation-piecing accuracy is a sport changer!
As you may see from the initiatives above, this block has SO could choices for enjoying with design variations relying on cloth and colour placement. Are you able to imagine this design is made utilizing the identical block?
Quilted Bag with Pinwheel (Sugar Cone) Blocks
Seeing these leather-based straps included on this month’s field, I knew that I wished to make one of many bag choices. I used the 4″ block to create the pinwheel blocks, however made some slight modifications to the colour placement of the materials to personalize issues a bit of bit.
I used the 4″ quilted blocks to create 4 of the 8″ x 8″ pinwheel blocks. I believe it is so cool how the customized quilting design on the one block creates a cool bigger design as soon as the blocks are pieced collectively.
For the backing I quilted for strong 8″ x 8″ blocks utilizing the crosshatch digital quilting recordsdata additionally included with this month’s subscription.
As you may see, I cheated a bit of bit (which you are completely allowed to do) and used one other inexperienced print from my stash.
