Wildyard, we can't find the answer on the internet, so I will ask my computer geek nephew and get back to you. I think the apps only work on the iPhone and iPads, but not 100%.

Wildyard, love your colorful quilt! The t-shirts really blend very well together. What a treasure for your friend.

carrie--great graphic blocks!
wildyard--brave of you not to stabilize the knits..kudo's to your piecing and quilting without the backings.
I pulled out a UFO inspired by Barbara Brackman's Under Lincoln's stars. I have all the small and large checkerboards sewn together. Working on the 8pt stars now. A total of 143 8" blocks. With 4" borders will finish 96 x 117. All from my scraps. Here's my EQ rendition

OK: Wow. Easily 80% of the way, although in my book flying geese aren't easy. Excited to see it all go together. I use EQ too and find that it never really does justice to the 'real' scrappy.

Ok--wow! That is gorgeous! Love how the mini-check stars sort of "border"the main body of blocks. Good for you to persevere on that beautiful project!

Thanks Emma and QltSue. Yes Emma usually don't want to "color" every block in a scrappy EQ quilt!
The original pattern is a 7 x 8 block setting of the stars and checkerboards. I added the extra blocks and the mini check stars to increase the size. My beds are bigger than Lincoln's! Barbara Brackman designed this simple quilt for the Lincoln Museum. Here's a link to the quilt made by a California DAR

This was intended as June's finish, but it ran away from home for three weeks for a customer quilt show, so it still is not done. Just posting a pic as motivation. Pattern by Jinny Beyer.
And this is still way far from done. Pattern from our very own dunster. Detecting a pattern here in color choices.

Krisb--both very pretty quilts. Is the pattern for the 2nd one something I can buy? My dad is wanting a quilt with a "big star" in the middle and I think this would be perfect.
