This week I’m reviewing Electric Quilts new book
QUILT DESIGN
it’s awesome!!
I learned SO much from this!
Here’s a quick review
Chapter 1 Basic Quilt and Block Design tricks (neat way to do leaves and borders)
Chapter 2 instant blocks and borders –
here it adjust a house block and merged with other blocks to look like barns! clever!!
Chapter 3 – optical effects
And my own versions
Chapter 4 – accuquilt designs
Chapter 5 – award winning layouts
(starting with a quilt LAYOUT from the library it’s super easy to get stunning quilts)
my own versions with the same blocks from above just different colors and different layouts
Chapter 6 T shirt quilts (where was this when I needed it months ago when making a t shirt quilt for a friend- this way is WAY better)
Chapter 7 – circle quilts
I colored it differently than the book
Chapter 8 hexagons ( I LOVED this chapter and will play with it more)
Chapter 9 landscape quilts
Chapter 10 Tips and tricks
There’s LOTS more fun in this book

US only please. and only for EQ users 
Well, I still can't figure out EQ – but I would love to play with circle quilts.
I'd love to try some circle quilts in EQ. I do use my software regularly, but I know I'm not using more than a fraction of it's capability. Thanks for the giveaway! Looks like a wonderful resource.
Chapter 3 on optical effects really caught my eye and I'd love to take my skills up to the next level. Thanks for the chance to win a book.
I love my EQ7, but I've only used it for basic stuff. Chapter 2 interests me the most right now, because that would be the next step in my EQ training. Thanks for the chance to win.
I just bought this but haven't done anything with it yet-going to be ;looking at the Tee Shirt quilt chapter first as that is what I need to get done:)
Great review on the new EQ7 book. You definitely shared insights that I had not picked up before on this book, inspiring me to buy a copy. Love seeing your versions too. Look like award winning quilts, in design state.SewCalGalwww.sewcalgal.blogspot.com
I agree. This book is wonderful. I used it right away. I got answers to questions on settings. Enjoy your Tuesday EQ7 tutorials.Congrats on being in the book.
I think I'd be most interested in the Accuquilt section and the optical illusions.. I just love my EQ 7 and am always wanting to know more!
Those optical effect layouts really strike my fancy! How fun!
Intrigued by the hexagons and the Accuquilt.
I'd like more on the Accuquilt and hexagon sections, since that's what I'm most interested in right now.
Thank you for the review. This book looks fantastic. Crossing my fingers that I might win your copy, otherwise, it is going on my Christmas wish list!
Well you know that I recently got my EQ but have yet been able to play with it. I'd love to try this and the award winning quilts chapter is very intriguing.
I would love to have a copy of this new edition to my EQ library. My chapter to go to would be the hexagons and then the t-shirts..
SOOOOooooooo many chapters I'd want to read. Chapter 3 and Chapter 7 definitely! Thanks for the chance!
I'm totally into the mariner's compass at the moment and you laid out some doozies. I love your tutorials and read them every Tuesday…thanks, arden
I love every chapter. For my pick of one it's landscapes
My favorite chapter will be Chapter 8 Hexagons. As a fan of Linda Franz's Inklingo I have been wanting to design a quilt using her 300 Hexies. Not sure if I will be purchasing it or asking for it for Christmas. (DH and DIL's often ask for suggestions!)
I have been designing in EQ for awhile now but there is SOOOO much that I still can't figure out. I would LOVE to have this book!!!!! Every chapter sounds interesting but the chapter on Hexagons sounds like FUN. Lynnejean1@gmail.com
Would love to have this book!!! Chapter about hexagons sounds like fun!!!Lynnejean1@gmail.com
I'd love to explore the Optical Illusions and Landscape chapters. Sounds like this is a must have book. Thanks for the chance to win!
I can't wait to get this book, I teach EQ and would love some additional info for teaching! Can't wait to see chapters, 4 (accuquilt), 6 (tshirt quilts) and 8 (hexagons).
I think the optical illusions chapter would be interesting. I've used EQ for years but I still don't do the more complicated things. I need to do more with it.
I love EQ and this book sounds wonderful! I'm excited about having a chapter on optical effects (illusions). I've never seen anything written recently on how to achieve them. Judygoldendog55@gmail.com
Chapter 3 Optical Illusions looks like fun!
I would love to have a copy of this new edition to my EQ7 library. My chapter to go to would be the hexagons and then chapter 4 – accuquilt designs.
Chapter 2 instant blocks and borders because I'm in a round robin and always enjoy seeing different borders! Thanks for the chance!
Looks great!
