Quilting the Center Section

I’ve assembled the backing, batting, and center section together using basting spray. I’ll stitch in the ditch around all the triangles using clear thread on the top and cream in the bobbin. You’ll notice I’ve cut the backing and batting slightly larger than the top. I’ve learned the hard way, nothing is more frustrating than running short on the back when adding the next round. I’ll trim the excess off later after I’ve jointed the next round.
Quilting pattern for the center diamond of the square. I’ve enlarged and copied this pattern from 1000 Great Quilting Designs by Luise Roberts. This is pattern 891b which I enlarged 300% for a 6-inch square.
Quilting pattern for the outer triangles of the square. This is pattern 891a which I enlarged 200% for a 4-inch triangle.
