EQ7 Tutorial Tuesday- circles

beaquiltersEQ7tutorialtuesday

I just got more circle dies from Accuquilt and have some ideas already and wanted to show how to play with circles in EQ!

When you start a quilt, start with a custom set

image

quilt/ new quilt/ custom set and then set the size

I chose a square 40” x 40”

Then I created a block and also made that 40” x 40”

(easy draw + patch draw)

image

on the applique tab, there’s different shapes on the left side

image

on the heart, click the little arrow to open it up and the first option is a circle/ oval

image

then draw a circle

image

near the top you can then enter a a size you want it to be, I chose 8”

image

you can also click the center button to make it centered on the block

image

then copy and paste the circle and adjust to whatever size you want again, I chose 5”

image

something fun is the wreath button (I think that’s only in EQ7)

image

with the circle selected, click the wreath button

you can then select the amount of the cluster and placing and distance

image

then click OK and VOILA!

image

you can then copy and paste more circles and change the size and play more in the wreath maker and once you’re happy with it, add to sketchbook and put the block into the quilt

I came up with this

image

or something random like this?

Hope you like circles and play in EQ with them!
