Guilt As You Go Blocks are super easy to create and are by far the easi-
est to use when putting a quilt together. Quilt As You Go Blocks are em-
broidered, lined and quilted entirely in the hoop. All that’s left to do, is to
put on the sashing and join the blocks together.
Be sure to have a look at my general Quilt As You Go “How To” to add
on the sashing and to join the blocks.
The Cute Cats Quilt As You Go Blocks also use the flip and sew method
for inserting the pink fabric corners.
The Accent blocks in this set match the Cute Cats Quilt As You Go
Blocks.
In this set there are:
12 Cute Cats Quilt As You Go Blocks in 5”x5”, 6”x6”, 7”x7” and 8”x8”

My designs are in a zip folder. Download the zip file along with the stitch charts. Print out the stitch
charts so you have them on hand. They have the color sequence that each design will stitch out as
well as the dimensions of each block. To use the embroidery design files, first unzip the file. Once
the file is unzipped, you will find the embroidery design files. Store the files, stitch charts and in-
structions in a safe place on your computer and be sure to make a backup or a copy of it onto CD or
flash.
Lets start with the Cute Cat Blocks (EW065_Design x)
Prepare your fabric and batting. I usually cut my fabric about 1” to 1.5” bigger than the actual de-
sign. Eg. If the block I am going to stitch out is 7”x7” then I would cut my batting, and fabric upper
and lining 8.5”x8.5”
For the Cute Cat Blocks you will need the following:
1 x batting square
2 x white cotton fabric square
1 x pink printed cotton fabric square
Put the batting and white cotton fabric squares to one side. Take the pink printed cotton square and
cut it diagonally to create 4 triangular pieces. Mark the center of each triangle on the longest side.
Load the design onto your machine.
Let’s start.
On your stitch chart you will see that there are colors marked with DL_ and TD_
DL_ is the die line. This marks where to place fabric
TD_ is the tack down stitch used to hold the fabric in place.
Die Lines and Tack Downs are done in white thread.
Hoop 1 layer of hard tear away. Stitch the first color change.

Spray the Die Line area with Temporary Adhesive Spray. Place your square of batting over the Die
Line. Hand press in place. Spray the batting with Temporary Adhesive Spray. Place 1 piece of white
cotton fabric onto the batting. Hand press in place.
Put the hoop back into the machine and stitch the next color change. This is the tack down stitch and
holds the fabric and batting in place. Stitch the next color change. Remove the hoop from the ma-
chine. With a ruler, mark the diagonals of the block.
Using the diagonals for center placement, place 1 triangle onto the stitched line. Match the center
mark of the triangle to the diagonal. The wrong side of the fabric faces up.

Put the hoop back into the machine. Stitch the next color. This is the tack down. Remove the hoop
from the machine. Flip the triangle over. Use a little temporary adhesive spray to hold the pink fabric
in place.
Put the hoop back into the machine and stitch the next die line. Continue adding the pink corners in
this manner until all four corners have been done. There will be five color changes left.

Now stitch out the cat. The cat is done in 3 color changes
Remove the hoop. Turn the hoop over so the back side of the hoop faces up. Spray the stabilizer with
temporary adhesive spray. Place the second piece of white cotton fabric over the stitched area. Hand
press in place. Put the hoop back into the machine and stitch the last color change. I did mine in
black thread but you should use any color of your choice
That’s your Cat Block done. Now stitch out the rest of the Cute Cat Blocks.
Now for the Accent Blocks.
You will need 2 squares of white cotton fabric and 1 square of thin batting
Load the Accent Block design onto your machine. Hoop 1 layer of hard tear away stabilizer. Stitch
the first color change.
