Josh’s Stippling on a Spinning Square Block
It’s all over stippling time on our fun spinning square, so let’s get right to it.
And here’s the finish:
And the back:
Looking at the back, I can’t even see the bird beak I made that I was so unhappy with. This just goes to show how important it is to put a block aside and give it some time–you’ll likely not even notice what you once thought was a glaring mistake!
In the video we also talked about your sewing chair. Are you comfortable when you’re sewing on your machine? Lowering the stool helped me drastically. I was much more comfortable with this block dropping the angle. This was a very easy block so I didn’t need to have a higher vantage point so slightly dropping the height helped me sail through the block.
This was a great block and a great design for a beginner.
It’s also a perfect time to join us in our Quilt Along. Leah designed our beginner-level Building Block Quilt Along to be picked up at any time as you’ll get all 42 blocks at once and can work at your own pace and leisure. No having to download something once a month, or set up a monthly recurring payment–for one small sum you get the entire package. As the pattern will always be available and due to our fun and buzzing Facebook group, you can interact with hundreds of active quilt along members and get help, tips, and show off your work.
Finally, we recently had more than a hundred newby Quilt Along members sign up, so if you’re just starting out you won’t be alone!
Until next time, let’s go quilt.
Josh
