Welcome to the monthly background quilting roundup! 👏 This post is to celebrate all of the fun, FUN background quilting designs released this past month.
But, before I show those off . . .
Let's quickly review the background quilting methods and what each type of design is for!
Quilting Methods
Clear Blue Tiles® Quilting Method
Kimberbell Clear Blue Tiles make it possible to create continuous, all-over quilting, just like you finished your project on a longarm machine (but you actually used your home embroidery machine).
Block-by-Block Quilting Method
Block-by-Block files feature the same designs as the Clear Blue Tiles version, but they contain batting and tack-down lines so you can quilt a single block or border. They are digitized so there's no batting in the seams.

Design Colors
When you look at the new designs below, you'll want to note which designs are used for which quilting method. Here's a recap:
- If you want continuous quilting like you'd get with a longarm machine, use Clear Blue Tiles and use designs shown in LIGHT BLUE, DARK BLUE, or DARK GREY.
- If you want to do quilting on an individual block, use our Block-by-Block quilting method and use designs shown in ORANGE, YELLOW, LIGHT GREY, LIGHT BLUE, DARK BLUE, or DARK GREY.
Designs for Clear Blue Tiles
When using Clear Blue Tiles, it's also good to know which designs work with which tile sizes. Here's a handy reference sheet!
