What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Today’s designs come from a project file started in Electric Quilt 5 …. I am now using EQ8.

Most of the blocks came from the EQ library, but there are a few of the original blocks I was adding back then. Those blocks had been scribbled onto paper, and transferred to graph paper, but still with pencils. Now I draw new ideas in EQ8, though I still scribble some onto paper if I have an idea when the computer is not close by.

Most of the quilt designs in the project have a mixture of traditional blocks and my own ...

All the designs in this project file look very washed out, which is what you would expect of real quilts as old as these designs!

The second one must have been bleached at some time. I think I was experimenting to see just how little contrast is needed to make the block designs interesting … at the time I was learning to draw pieced blocks by adding all the block designs I had scribbled on piles of paper to my EQ library.

Electric Quilt was up to version 5 when I first became a user, and have upgraded as soon as possible with each new version, and loved the way the program has progressed.

Learning to use each upgrade has been a challenge with each step, and I still have lots to learn, but I am still amazed at some of the designs I did way back then.

It is one of those days when I am not going to be able to pick a favourite.

Love the colours in the first, the shape created by the blocks around the centre block ...
