Hullo Deb and welcome
If you want to machine piece the baby block pattern (I assume this is
the one also called Tumbling Blocks?), you might find it a wee bit
awkward. It isn't so much difficult as tricky, because of 'Y' (or
inset) seams. If you mark the corner points of the diamonds, and sew
between those marks, you will find it works out very well. By 'corner
points' I mean the points where the seam lines intersect. You might
like to do a practice couple of blocks before launching out into the
quilt itself.
Set your blocks out so that you can see where you are going with the
design. Just pick up one piece from the layout as you come to sew it.
You can machine quilt the piece whether you hand or machine piece it.

Hey all,

I'm new to the newsgroup and thought I'ld say "Hi!". I learned to quilt
from my Mom, who IMO makes the most beautiful quilts, but I may be biased.
:-) I do have a question though, years ago I cut out pieces for a quilt
using a 'baby block' design/pattern. Anyways, Mom said the best way to put
it together was piecing by hand. (That's probably why I haven't finished
it.) Can someone please reassure me there's a way to do this by machine??
Please.....it would be so much fun to prove Mom wrong. hahaha :-)
