This sort of makes me want to drop some cash on EQ7.............:o
I'd try the graph paper first. EQ is not that easy to draw a complex block like this. I'd blow up a picture to the size you want the whole thing to be and then use graph paper to draw out the design. I'd even use a light box to get the dimensions or to draw it straight onto the graph paper for the first pass. Then I'd redesign the whole thing to get the dimensions as pieces that could be cut. I'm not good at odd size pieces....8ths instead of quarters or 16ths.

I agree that you should graph it. You may find that one or two simple little changes to the size of a line will make everything work. And who will know that it isn't exactly the same as the trivet!!

This is the webpage for the Frank Lloyd Wright Ennis Block Trivet. It is a nice, square picture. Thought it might help.

My husband loved this picture. Even he could see how complicated that would be to make into a quilt.

I love that design! Anxious to see your finished product. What colors are you using?

Love your idea and wish you the best of luck. You didn't mention your fabric or color choices, but I am looking forward to seeing a picture of the end result. Glad you enjoyed your workshop.

What a great design idea! This one's gonna be tricky. The graph paper is a must, I think. I'd do some mini-piecings to make sure that your ideas on paper will work out in fabric. Please share the results with us. I'd love to see how it turns out.
