Custom quilting often means working through several blocks, shapes, and quilting areas—and having a clear placement plan can make the process much easier!

In this Quilter’s Playground session, we’ll explore how to use QCT to place designs across multiple quilt blocks while maintaining consistent sizing, spacing, and alignment. We’ll also look at how to adjust placement when piecing is not perfectly square and decide when repeating a design—or adding variety—will give your quilt the best overall look.

You’ll Learn How To:
• Identify individual blocks and define separate quilting areas
• Place designs accurately within multiple blocks
• Maintain consistent design sizing and spacing
• Copy or repeat designs across similar blocks
• Adjust placement when blocks are not perfectly square
• Decide when to repeat a design and when to introduce variety

Perfect For:
QCT quilters who want to move beyond edge-to-edge quilting and feel more confident placing designs across multiple blocks and custom quilting areas.

Class Schedule:
Q&A and Quilt Show: 4:30–5:00 PM Mountain Time
QCT Class: 5:00–6:00 PM Mountain Time

A custom-quilted project becomes much more manageable when you learn how to break it into individual areas and create a plan for quilting each section!

In this Quilter’s Playground session, we’ll explore how to approach custom quilting and multi-block placement with QMX Longarm. We’ll look at positioning designs within individual blocks, working with blocks of different sizes, and planning the order in which each section should be quilted.

You’ll Learn How To:
• Break a quilt into separate blocks and quilting areas
• Position designs within individual blocks
• Approach custom quilting with QMX Longarm
• Work with repeated blocks and blocks of different sizes
• Plan an efficient order for quilting each section
• Use QMX Longarm to support more customized quilting approaches

Perfect For:
QMX Longarm quilters who want to explore custom quilting, work with multiple blocks, and develop a thoughtful plan for quilting different areas of a project.

Custom quilting doesn’t require every block to be identical—but the finished quilt should still feel balanced, connected, and intentional!

In this Quilter’s Playground session, we’ll explore how to divide a quilt into manageable quilting areas and place free-motion designs within multiple blocks. We’ll discuss using markings and boundaries to guide placement, transitioning between blocks and surrounding spaces, and making adjustments when the piecing is not perfectly aligned.

You’ll Learn How To:
• Divide a quilt into manageable quilting areas
• Select designs that complement different blocks
• Use markings and boundaries to guide design placement
• Transition smoothly between blocks and surrounding spaces
• Adjust designs when piecing is not perfectly aligned
• Create variety while maintaining a cohesive finished quilt

Perfect For:
Free-motion quilters who want to build confidence with custom quilting, place designs thoughtfully within individual blocks, and create a unified look across an entire quilt.

Class Schedule:
Q&A and Quilt Show: 4:30–5:00 PM Mountain Time
Free Motion Class: 5:00–6:00 PM Mountain Time
