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 wanted to show this sampler quilt I created in EQ a while ago. I’ve always been fascinated with quilt designs that are outside the box and just different. Here I’m just showing traditional blocks, but you’ll get the idea for creating your own, any way you want. Start by doing a new quilt CUSTOM …
Someone last week emailed me about EQ7 and how to add certain borders, now I deleted the email (after I replied of course) and can’t think about what kind of borders it was now!? I’ve shown one border tutorial in the past here anyways, I figured I’d show how to just play around with more …
Tonya has come up with more Ahhhh designs and especially putting the same ones together to get a different result or secondary pattern. Here’s a “simple star” design Again with her designs I am just “playing” in EQ and not really caring about accurate measurements I just want to see the design and colors. Start …
As you know I love Tonya’s Ahhhh’s and EPP is always FUN and portable. And last week she started another quick sew along with a cool Hexagon design here So I decided to design it in EQ and color it for her. Start with a ONE patch layout and select Thousand pyramids I did width …
As you know I work a lot with the accuquilt dies. I have been wanting to make something with the large hexagon die and the matching equilateral Triangle They both finish with a side that’s 4 1/4” This quilt is just CUTE! I wanted to copy that and change the colors a bit. In EQ7 …
The winding ways block and Go! die is an oldie but goodie! If you search for a Winding ways block or just “winding” in EQ7 you won’t find it, so I created one. Now I created it because I have the GO! die, so 100% accuracy was not important to me, I just wanted to …
Doyoueq posted a challenge for this month : DIAMONDS! So I figured I’d play around with some diamond blocks first I searched for “diamond” and got 50 blocks Let’s pick some, and create a new quilt of course I’d go with a diamond layout (Quilt/new quilt/ variable point) And I inserted some blocks and rotated …
Since I’m also doing the Accuquilt Go! challenge this year. I was thinking of combining both for this tutorial. It’s more of just ideas/inspiration I guess. Before Christmas I bought a FQ bundle on Connecting threads Called Spring terrace Another GREAT thing on Connecting thread’s website is on the left side of the bar under …
Today I’m going to link to the Red and White EQ blog hop I participated in last week. Here’s the link to the post I showed lots of ideas for the GO! dies. Some for the mix and match set and also did a tutorial on a “cheater” way to do the apple core block. …
