I started sewing some 1½" scraps together the other day thinking I'd make a little nine-patch quilt. Nice mindless, relaxing project.
But, then I started thinking I had seen some way of making the sashing look like star points so I started sketching it out on paper and then I went to drawing it in EQ.
It's a very common pattern, as it turns out - common as toast. :) But I think it will be pretty when it's done - about 200 civil war prints with just a few aged-looking solids here and there. I've spent hours playing with the layout (instead of sewing the blocks, mind you. ;) ) and now I'll have the fun of actually making the quilt.
This is one of the joys of EQ - you can make the quilt as many times as you want until it's looking like you want it to look. *Then,* you cut the fabric. :) Have fun!
