Love the quilt!

It's been on my list for quite some time. I don't have the pattern but drew it out in EQ. I am not sure if my long sections are the same length as the pattern but that's okay.

Oooooh, I wish I had the gumption to work with EQ...don't seem to be able to stick with it long enough to make it work for me. I certainly don't have a problem sharing the dimension... the longs are cut 3.5 x 9.5 and the light squares are cut 6.5 and small squares are 3.5. 'Tis my pleasure to help when I can!

Thanks to you and to everyone for all the comments!

Bobbinwinder,
Thank you for posting the size. That is the first size that I did so I guess the brain still works correctly sometimes. I did a couple of other sizes as well that I like also. In one the blocks are wider and in one they are shorter. Decisions! Decisions!
I am not sure that I could quilt without EQ. I love paper piecing and convert a lot of patterns in books and magazines so that I can paper piece them.
I also find it an invaluable tool for auditioning fabric and for the best color placement. Besides all of the ones available, if I am still really unsure about what to place were, I scan in the actual fabric that I have and it has helped me more than once from not making the best choice.

Thanks again.
