How to Hoop Background Blocks for Jenny Haskins Quilt

Last weekend I had the most wonderful time at our Third Annual Embroidery Retreat with Sew Many Blessings and Calico Patch. We spent three whole days learning how to multi-hoop large embroidery projects and worked on a several blocks from Jenny Haskin's Heritage Quilt book.



As usual, I had issues with my background blocks for the Jenny Haskin's project. So I decided to take detailed notes and pictures, in hopes that I could finish the project when I got home. I hope you find these notes helpful too. Hopefully, I'll get in gear and actually finish a block that I can post.

These are my first two background blocks that weren't right...I decided to make them a sample.
Here is a link to the notes that I put together. I really hope that they are beneficial.
