It’s time to tackle block #8, our Spinning Square block and we’re mixing our piecing up by learning paper piecing!
For this block you also have the option to use a special fabric in the center – a small piece of T-shirt fabric, a decorative embroidery, or a special print. The choice is entirely yours, but do make sure if you’re using t-shirt fabric that you stabilize it with interfacing like French Fuse so it doesn’t turn into a stretchy mess when we try to quilt it!
Now kick back and enjoy learning how to paper piece this cool block!
Would you like to learn how to piece and free motion quilt this Disappearing Nine Patch Block? Jump into this project and get everything you need – both piecing AND free motion quilting designs in theBuilding Blocks Quilt Pattern.
Whew! Paper piecing definitely has a lot more steps and can be pretty complicated. Personally I like paper piecing in small doses, which makes this project perfect! Piece up 4 pretty blocks and get ready to quilt them all by the end of July!

An add a quarter or add an eighth ruler would make lining up the fabric and trimming seam allowances far easier and more accurate. I also fold the paper back over a credit card or a magazine subscription card to get a nice sharp crease.
