Thank you to whoever asked about this block. I think it's beautiful and drew it out in EQ.

Hubby even liked it, but when I told him I didn't have enough fabric to make a quilt with it, that I just used FQ, he said why did I bother showing it to him? :lol: :lol:

Ya'll remember I have trouble with HST? Well on these I did as I always do, drew a line down the middle and stitched on that line. They came out good.

So let me ask, why is it on HST that you would stitch on either side of the line? I'm just not getting it :(

Tuesy, I really like that block, it's very pretty. The reason you stich on either side of the line, is that the line is your cutting line. Once the two seams are stitched, you cut on the line running corner to corner and you have two squares made up of 1/2 square triangles. Does that help, or just confuse you more?

I love your block!
I was looking online at the EQ lastnight.... And wishing my ship would hurry up and dock so I could buy it. lol!! :D

Love that block! It is really pretty!

About the HST....you have to allow extra for the seam allowance.

You all might try ebay for EQ...thats what I did...got it for $35.00 and love it!

I love your block and the fabrics are so pretty. You could do a scrap quilt using a different fq. for each block. If you continue with the soft florals or pastels you would have a lovely Spring quilt.

Wow, the block is interesting. Do you have a sample of what the whole quilt will look like when it's together?

gammysue 03-04-2009 07:47 PM

Beautiful block. Can't wait to see the whole quilt.

SaraSewing 03-04-2009 08:47 PM

Yes Elle, it is easy. It comes with Tutorials..both in the program and a book with very easy and quick lessons. It is very intuitive..so it is very easy. Also...they have a great web site and lots of folks who can help walk you through any problems. I highly recommend it...the only bad thing is that...it is just one more thing to pull you away from your quilting time :wink:

Thanks for that Patti, I will surely be looking into that. I have so many things on the go again, i am a sucker for taking on extras all the time.

Thank you all so much. I do love playing with EQ, now to make a whole quilt with this block.

Here's the block where I got it from. Someone here was asking about it and I went to have a look and then drew it out in EQ

Here's what it'll look like all put together in a quilt.
