EQ7/EQ8 Tips, Q&A here!
#112
Essenhause in Middlebury, IN has moved their quilt store from a tiny cramped space in the Corn Crib to the three stories of the old furniture building. I have not seen it yet, but the word is that there is a floor for classes. It brings up all sorts of wonderful thoughts. MIddlebury is near Shipshewana where there are about X number of quilting shops including Yoders and Lollys. I want to be the first one in the door on Monday to take a peek and I'll let you all know. What I'm looking for is a hands on Eq 8 workshop. I left part of my cranial function somewhere along the way and will need someone looking over my shoulder. Marcia

OMG I bit the bullet and just got EQ8 a couple of weeks ago - and stumbled through a couple of ideas. I wanted to insert another row on the left (like in Excel) and couldn't figure out how. So, now I haven't been back into the program. So glad to see this thread and I'm anxious to go through the whole thing tonight when I have time.

ok, all you wonderful EQ8 users--I need some help. I designed a quilt for our guild opportunity quilt inEQ8 using 6" blocks (had to draw the block, etc) primarily so we'd have a way to figure yardage. So tonight at the meeting she asked if I could instead design it using 4" blocks. Is there an easy way to convert the design from 6" blocks to 4" without going through all the design steps? I had a 15hr day and am brain dead right now! Thanks!

Hi I'm new to site and am a beginner quilter. I've done 4 memorial quilts for myself and 3 siblings from our mothers clothes and 3 rag quilts for my spouse and their siblings from their fathers clothes using YouTube and other tutorials. I now need help fast. I need to make a crib quilt for my niece's baby in a very short time. She has a very neutral home design color and that includes the baby's nursery. I'd describe her style as modern boho/Santa Fe - tans/ivory/grey. I found a photo of a rug and would like to do a rag quilt in this diagonal form and with these style blocks if possible but have no idea where or how to start. Help if you can please. I need it. Lol I'll be using grey, tan, white, and brown from my mother's clothes. my niece was very close to her so this will be an incredibly special surprise thank you in advance for any help you can offer

HI, Deb...and welcome to the board!! It's a beautiful rug and looks fairly simple to do. Looks like 20" blocks so that would make easy piecing. The layout is called on-point. So, what are you asking help to do? Do you have EQ8? If so, there may be a block in the program that you could open in the block design and can modify. if not, grab some graph paper and draw out block design. One block is using HST (half square triangle) to create design so that is easy enough to do....and the other looks like it can be pieced using log cabin block design...you just need to do a different color placement to get the effect you want and maybe make 4 10" blocks. Or..Just break the blocks down into rows. Others may have more suggestions. Good luck....
