I love that design. I want to see the picture when you are done.

We have such smart creative folks here. :) :thumbup:

All you have to do, is open your project, then click file and export it...give it a name and save it to your desktop..then come back here start a new topic and add the file...name it, then browse to where you saved it and there you go...just hit send.....

Does this work for you?

Ignore the color selections, I was just trying to show how the different values of the purple will differentiate each Tumbling block.

This is what I came up with....

I like how your block are all together. I've just gotten EQ7 and and still learning. I've never had EQ before. But it's fun.

Potato, Patato. <g>

I haven't gotten EQ7 yet (I missed the cheap upgrade offer and am now punishing myself).

I'm sure the options are similar


Quilt - New Quilt - Baby Blocks.

How easy was that?

This is the same quilt but with Variable Baby Blocks - stretched a bit to get that diamond shape for the Bowtie Block.

wow I really need to figure out EQ more :oops: here is what I came up with...not great fabrics I used but it gives an idea...

Nope, I didn't know how easy it was until you just explained it. LOL Like I said, I'm new to EQ, so I actually drew it out. Which is why the bow tie area is not the exact dimentions. If I would have known it was that easy, I wouldn't have taken three days to figure it out. But Oh well, I learned again. I'm always learning something on this board.

Hey Katie and MTS - these designs are great! So question though - is the bowtie shape a square or a diamond shape? What I tried (and I'm not real thrilled about it)is I created the Bowtie block using the 10 minute method, then took the diamond template from the Tumbling Blocks and cut the square Bowtie block to make it a diamond. Then I pieced it normally.

The trouble is that the Bowtie looks a bit squashed and the sides are out of scale. So if the Bowtie block remains a square, what do i do for the sides?

They are the diamond shape. Which I'm sure isn't the easiest to try to do with the 10 min. block. What if you made the tumbling block, in the colors you want. Then make a 3-d bow tie from the 10 min block, or just out of fabric, or applique a bow on top. Something like this?
