I was looking at old tutorials and I did one post for a review of the quilt design book
and one is an optical effect!
I won’t copy it exactly, but you’ll get the idea and it’s a lot of fun!
Start a new project and right away start with a new block and make it 20” x 20” and also the grid and snaps at 20 each
now create a symmetrical grid
add to sketchbook!
then work on quilt and click Quilt/ create quilt from block
and you’ll see a pop up, make the quilt any size you want, I picked 40×40
add to sketchbook and close
now when you open the sketchbook and click the quilt tab on the left, the new quilt is there!
now you can start filling in the quilt with fun blocks
it’s best to use a simple block I think and repeat it
now it’s time to color it
You can do so much with layouts like this, this was just one version, I’m sure you can come up with more!
Have fun
and BTW I’ve been doing tutorials for EQ7 for almost 5yrs now!!
There’s going to be some changes soon!!
Love this! Would have made my Rondure so much easier to draft. I used custom.
You're just so smart Bea, thank you and do keep on giving us wonderful ideas!
Another wonderful tutorial. The quilt designs you show are great and now I know how designers do it!
I am really going to need all the help I can get…thanks!
A very helpful article indeed for all those who want learn different design techniques. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. I wish you a good luck.
Just the color change made it look different. You're good
