Tutorial Tuesday – designing Free motion quilting in EQ7! Layer 3(or 2) is rarely a layer I work with much. The same goes for any of the Quiltmaker CD’s but I have one and try to use it I knew there was a way to design my own quilting designs in EQ as well. Here’s …

I had some batik scraps and decided to make a scrappy random quilt with these triangles. I didn’t care how the triangles matches up. I also for once, did …
