Default Played in EQ7 today to design quilt for my daughter

Most of these started with snowball blocks. A bit of manipulation using EQ7 came up with some cool designs. Some are way past my skill level, but they are still fun to look at and dream about. I love two fabric quilts, so, except for borders, only two fabrics are involved.

First is the pattern "Storm at Sea" in my two fabrics. It's eye catching, but looks kind of like the letter S is repeated over and over.

The next one started out as a lovers knot pattern (I think), but with two fabrics it simplified to snowball blocks and a a sashed square. This is the one I will probably make.

The third one is all Snowball blocks, believe it or not. This one is so far above my skill level that the only way it will get made is if someone else makes it!

I think that if I had an EQ all I would want to do would be play at designing. I would never get a quilt done. Or, maybe even started. How's that for knowing oneself.

You've been having fun...and yes sometimes I get lost in EQ--one file is called "Just Playing"...
