If you know how to do that, or can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome.
I will be done this tonight (sewing the actual quilt top), but would love to be able to figure out how to do it in EQ for future layouts.
I'm not sure what you mean about crop the fabric to a triangle.
I fill the triangle block with the fabric then use Rotate Fabric and Fussy Cut.
What EQ Quilt layout style are you using? ( and what version of EQ?) I do the layouts differently than others, but I can calculate the correct sizes for the triangles instead of using hexagons.
Are your fabric image files sized for EQ? 72 - 75 DPI and about 200x200 pixels and cropped to the repeat.
For your actual quilt, what fabric are you using in the center? I recognize the Jinny Beyer on the outside.
And I'm curious if you sewed it together in rows, or the center then the outside... I would love to have a variety of testers and opinions to figure out the easiest way to put these things together.
Thanks
Bunnie
