Thank you for your confidence. I do create EQ designs constantly. In fact I design all my quilts on EQ now before I make them. I have made almost 70 quilts since I started in 1981. I usually print out rotary cutting directions on each quilt and check out yardage requirements. It sure makes quiltmaking "less disappointing" as I can see the result before I shop.
All my quilts are 100" square for my queen sleigh bed with a (newer) thick mattress. Eventually I see them as my legacy or inheritance for my siblings and their children. They will fit either queen or king beds.
Here are three designs.
"Clearly you have made your point" is a new design that had so many points that I had to name it based on them.
"Green Tree of Life" was inspired by an antique quilt I saw at a local quilt show.
"My Bee and Me" was an EQ drawing of a quilt I have since completed. It was my entry for our bee's group project for Northwest Suburban Quilt Guild's quilt show about 10 years ago. Each of us gave the other members two strips (3" x 44") of fabric. The fabrics were to represent a "brown" beehive and a light background. Our goal was to sew the beehive blocks, set them as we chose and get it done for the quilt show. Since all my quilts are 100" square, I had to "expand" my 16 quilt blocks out. The garden maze setting is wonderful for that. I chose the green to represent a grassy field filled with beehives. Each bee member signed her finished block. I love to sleep under this quilt as the grass color reminds me of spring.

"Clearly you've made your point" (oops, can you find the mistake?)
