1 comment on stash and 1 question about EQ7
 

Comment: I am so happy. Right before Christmas a friend of mine game be several bags of scraps that were from her recently deceased grandmother. My friend and 2 relatives had picked through all her grandmothers scraps (she quilted and sewed clothing) and kept what they wanted and asked if I wanted the rest.

Of course I did. I can't believe all the goodies that they didn't want: 4 1/2 yds of sailboat printed cotton, several pieces of quilting cotton that were 1/4th yd, 1/2 yd, 1/8 yd. etc...as well as lots of 'sure nuff' scraps. I have been cutting the scraps into blocks of 4 1/2, 3 1/2, 2 1/2 & 1 1/2 blocks...resulting in lots of blocks.

In the stash were about 15-18 rectangles of cotton flannel of 3 different prints each. I had enough to make a small baby quilt by adding my own borders & backing. All in all the quilt is costing me a little over 4 dollars. Wow.

Ok...bragging over. On to my question:

if you use EQ7, how do you use the notecard flip-side to show your own created blocks by category? EQ's built in blocks are all catagorized for easy searching and I would like to be able to do that with the one's I've created. However, i can find no way to do it.

Hoping there is a way to do this.

LOL...'game be' was supposed to be 'gave me.'...sorry :(

It's always fun to get a grab bag from someone else's stash and dig through it, isn't it? Glad you scored!

I don't know much about EQ7, but someone else will, I'm sure...

I looked through the EQ7 options, and I couldn't find any way to do what you want with the notecards. Maybe you could suggest that function to the Electric Quilt people... for EQ8???

Thanks dunster for trying to find out for me.
