EQ7 Tutorial Tuesday- creating quilt from block

Again this weekend, I was “playing” with EQ7.

And I saw “create quilt from block” – never noticed that before

after trying different things, here’s what I came up with.

First, add blocks that have boxes in the block, like the four patch or nine patch (no triangles)

Here I added just the four patch, nine patch and nine patch within the nine patch, then modifed another block to make a four patch within a nine patch.

click QUILTS/ create quilt from block

the usable blocks show up on the left and show the quilt on the right

pick which ever one you want, now here I did a little match and figure a size divisible by 9, so I picked 54″ x 54″ (9×6)

ADD it to sketchbook

here’s the layout on layer 1

Now insert whatever fun blocks you want!

here I did a few simple ones



and here I colored it

I believe this fabric line was called tuxedo

this was a four patch within a four patch layout



I liked to color the middle pinwheel here, adds a fun effect

do you have any ideas for tutorials?

something easy? something hard? a theme? anything… I’m up for ideas.
