EQ7 Tutorial Tuesday- scrappy spider web quilts

This weekend I got a new laptop and it of course takes some time to convert everything over and now my EQ7 doesn’t want to activate, but I managed to get EQ6 working, so I’ll be showing that today.

I was looking at pinterest to get ideas for this tutorial and then found several spider web quilts.

If you search of SPIDER in EQ, a few odd blocks may come up, but NOT what we need.

Instead I looked under SIMPLE blocks and added these to the sketchbook;

Arkansas snowflake and The Priscilla

If you edit the Arkansas block you get this

I added diagonal lined on the corners and also deleted the lines that created a sort of 9 patch to create this

Then ADD to sketchbook as you’ll need this for printing templates/blocks.

Then comes the FUN part

I then started drawing lines outside the star shape like this, It doesn’t matter if they are not the same width or precisely straight.

after you’ve filled the whole block it looks like this and you can color it in

maybe color it like this?

and this is what a quilt would look like

If you then edit the Priscilla block

and by adding lines in the middle and removing the 4 small lines in the middle, it looks like this

Then add the spider web lines like before

and in a quilt it looks like this

for printing I added the PLAIN block in the corner, selected it and chose PRINT foundation papers

If it’s 7” and under it should print on one page

and 6.5” for the other block

Then it’s easy to print and add your own strips 🙂

Have any of you tried this?
