Fabulous!!!!

nonda 01-23-2014 07:27 AM

That is going to be gorgeous ~ any way you put it together!

ManiacQuilter2 01-23-2014 07:35 AM

HI seasaw2inch. Looks like you came up with a very clever design. We both love our EQ programs !! Good Luck with dealing with all those pieces. You must have the patience of an angel. Will be looking forward to seeing a photo of the quilt top.

Hahah....I love this comment! We should start ranking quilts with "Elmers" based on difficulty.

"That quilt looks like it'd be pretty easy, I give it one Elmer"
"I'm working on a three Elmer quilt and it's killing me!"

LOL! (maybe I just need coffee but this is seriously cracking me up...)

Absolutely beautiful you did a wonderful job. Looking forward to seeing a quilt completed in it.

jeanharville 01-23-2014 08:10 AM

I like the on-point and no sashing. I look forward to seeing it as a real quilt. Be sure to post a picture of it when you finish.

Yooper32 01-23-2014 08:44 AM

Glad you have it licked, because I kept wondering, how on earth are you going to construct those corners.??

caspharm 01-23-2014 08:45 AM

I agree that it looks best on point and you must pick a name. It is very cool. What size is the block?

DJ 01-23-2014 08:51 AM

New to me! Gorgeous in a whole quilt, and such variety in the layout. Are you going to publish it?

elaine708 01-23-2014 09:12 AM

That is the joy of creating when you can come up with a new block or idea.

janeknapp 01-23-2014 09:50 AM

Your design is wonderful! I agree ... on point and no sashing is my favorite.

KyStitcher 01-23-2014 09:54 AM

How very kind and generous of you to share your lovely idea! Will be waiting to see this lovely idea come to life!

coloradosky 01-23-2014 11:46 AM

Striking! Keep us posted. Thanks

sushi 01-23-2014 11:55 AM

Sure hope you post a tute! This is a fabulous design!!!

nygal 01-23-2014 12:05 PM

Wow that IS beautiful!! I like it in the first photo the best but of the settings are pretty.

Diana Lea 01-23-2014 12:14 PM

I would call it seesaw. Congrads.

JanieH 01-23-2014 12:25 PM

Love your new block and the name you chose and like it best in the first example on point without sashing. I can't wait to see your photos!

silverfoxmag 01-23-2014 02:00 PM

Beautiful block! I love them all but I love the movement in the first one.

teacherbailey 01-23-2014 02:16 PM

Over 70 pieces BUT.......

very pretty

My first thought was to enlarge it to 24" or 30" so you just make 9 and you have a whole quilt! :)

wildyard 01-23-2014 02:42 PM

Great job! On point without sashing it is stunning! Isn't it fun to come up with something new? Congrats on your new block and the amazing quilt it is going to make.

MacThayer 01-23-2014 03:17 PM

I've never seen that specific quilt block before, and I know a lot about quilt blocks! It's a beautiful design; I hope you don't mind if I try it out? The number of pieces doesn't bother me, as I like working on the more complicated blocks. Great work! You can now call yourself a "Designer", because you've designed a novel block. Congratulations!

Chis2 01-23-2014 05:31 PM

Very nice block

Jannie 01-23-2014 07:05 PM

Any of the 3 lay outs with be beautiful.

Cybrarian 01-23-2014 08:50 PM

Each setting has some great features I like them all!

lfstamper 01-23-2014 08:56 PM

Great movement in this block. Looks original to me. Like prayer block.

cathyvv 01-23-2014 08:58 PM

I love the first one! It looks like circles, but there isn't a one in the entire quilt. I'll have to see if I can make the block in EQ7.

Very creative!

LAQUITA 01-23-2014 09:29 PM

Beautiful! I like it on point best! And I Love the name too!

NanaInVirginia 01-23-2014 09:42 PM

The on point version is amazing. I would buy the pattern in a heartbeat!

zennia 01-24-2014 02:53 AM

I love your new block. On point was my favorite layout.

tjwb 01-24-2014 08:50 AM

Lovely,,,,I see praying hands, stars, halos, angel wings and crowns.....you have truly been inspired and are inspiring others...........I think you've got it.

PS...I see this in the on point, no sashing best.

I spent the day making a PDF file for this but I can't seem to upload it. So anyone that can help me out please PM me.

What always works for me is making the file as a Word Document then clicking "save as" and saving as a PDF file. Then it always uploads and works fine as the PDF file. Hope this is something you can try.

janeknapp 01-29-2014 07:09 AM

I find that I need to reduce the size of the PDF file before posting. With my iMac ... I open the PDF file ... click on Save As ... open Quartz Filter and choose Reduce File Size ... then Save.

seasaw2mch 01-29-2014 01:45 PM

Thanks everyone but it still doesn't work.
I did go back and make it into a word document and then clicked save as PDF, it did save it as such but that didn't help either for some reason unknown to me. I even sent a copy to someone here and they said they couldn't open it either so I'm at a lost. I can open the PDF on my computer just fine so I don't know why it won't work on another computer.
As far as file size, I'm way below what it could be so that isn't a issue.

I sent a copy to one of the site managers to see if she can figure out what is going on but that's all I can do for now. As soon as I figure out what to do to make this work, I will post it in the "Tutorial" section.

Jo M 01-29-2014 05:10 PM

Pretty cool!

seasaw2mch 01-30-2014 01:48 AM

OK PatriciaJ got the files figured out and they are now posted in the Tutorials under "Sue's Prayer Block with patterns"
Hope you enjoy making them.
