EQ7 Tutorial Tuesday – Orange peel continued

someone from the electric quilt user FB page asked for help designing this quilt that was a free design

First, the quilting lines are “deceiving”, the blocks are ON point, not straight.

I didn’t find the block in EQ so create a new 9” block (or anything divisible by 3)

use the easy draw block

I had the grid ON and set the grid and snaps to 18

I drew the first petal 3” in and going 3” down

then copied and pasted those parts

Now with 3 petals in a row, I selected all of them by drawing a box around them with the pick tool and copying and pasting it again.

Then I selected BOTH of these and copied and turned them 90 degrees

and moved them into place

looking at the picture, each petal is a different 30s fabric, so I tried to color with those fabrics from the EQ library and added to sketchbook

then added to an on point quilt layout with 9” blocks

looking at the picture I think the sashing looks like 3” wide, so let’s add that

Now to get the star on the sashing you have to make a 3” x 9” block and add the triangles to the ends

Now add that to the layout

but flip one row as it inserts them all the same directions like this

here is the layout all done
