Josh’s Straight Lines a Spinning Square Block

Josh here. Happy Friday! Today I’m quilting straight lines in our newest block, a spinning square.

Straight lines are easy mode for me. However, what was interesting about this block was the rays coming together in the corners. I skipped the lines in the middle of the triangles, but I still had a thread buildup issue.

Here’s the finish:

I think this is a really pretty design for the block.

How did your block finish out? Did you do anything creative with the design?

Let’s go quilt!

    Hi there, I am working on the Spinning Square in the Building BLocks Beginners quilt a long project. I can’t find a tutorial to do the piecing – I find it difficult to simply read instructions and wonder if there is a you tube tutorial for block 8. It is an older pattern.

      If the video is not linked at the top of the page, it means for some reason in all the updates of this blog, the embed code has gone buggy. Search the name of the block on YouTube and you should be able to find the video.
