If you keep making blocks, you will have a beautiful quilt.

When a new version comes out, you just buy it, as someone else said. However, what wasn't mentioned was that if you already have the latest version of EQ, you get a generous discount when purchasing the new one. EQ7, the most recent version, came out in June of 2010. They also released a Mac version last spring. |

I love this too. How were you able to post this pic? I have EQ7 too but it only saves as a PJ7. if I missed something in my tutorials, excuse my lack of knowledge. thanks!
I prefer to post images without the patch lines showing. That's a little more complicated. First I go to Print Setup, and choose my .pdf printer as the default printer. Then I print the quilt to a .pdf and save it. Then I open the .pdf in Photoshop and save it as a .jpg. |

I like the blocks that Peckish laid out!
For that layout to work, half the blocks will need to be mirror images of the other blocks. They are laid out so every other block has the colors in opposite order. |
As I was looking at your block, I really liked it, but didn't care for the first layout that Peckish showed. As I was thinking, she posted the second and third version. They are just what I was thinking. I like the secondary pattern that is formed when the colors are together. Your quilt will be beautiful when you get it made.

I recently bought EQ7, but haven't had time to look at it yet. Honestly, I'm a more than a little intimidated by it. Love the layouts shown, makes me really want to give it a whirl.

Peckish - I prefer the red square block.
I am struggling mightily with this. I'm afraid I have to copy the block several times and lay it out and play with it, as has been suggested. I get very frustrated by my inability to visualize multiple blocks. It took me 5 minutes to figure out the difference between the 2 blocks you showed was black vs red middle square. Very, very hard for my brain to differentiate. Thanks for your help. |
Love your block. It will be a stunning quilt. I say keep going.

Pudge, you can scan your square and then print off several copies so you can play around with different layouts.

I wish I could remember what blog I saw that had such an easy way to make this block without a ruler or anything, It made it look like I could even do it. Your colors are grrreeeaaat!
