Club EQ Album: September 2001 Challenge: Snails Trail!

August was the unofficial ClubEQ vacation, but also a chance for ClubEQers to build a challenge of their own. The guest hostess for September's clubEQ challenge is Peggy Raley from Boerne, TX. All guest challenge submissions were winners, and will be considered for the next ClubEQ contest. Here is Peggy's challenge:

"Use the Snail's Trail block in any quilt setting with any variety of colors to come up with new ideas! 'Snail's Trail' is also known as 'Monkey Wrench' or 'Virginia Reel'. You'll find it in the EQ Library under Classic Pieced, Classics or Classic Pieced, Diamond in a Square. You're welcome to manipulate it in any quilt setting, with or without borders, as you please or combine it with other blocks for secondary designs."

-Barb Vlack

Scrollwork Snail's Trail Charlotte Kleiner Winnipeg, Mb Canada hkleiner@attcanada.ca	God Bless America Eileen Allen I designed this quilt for the EQ4 Sept. 2001 challenge. The Monkey Wrench block was the required to be used for the challenge and i used them as border blocks. The top represents our mountains, the three other sides represent the oceans and sea that surround us, the tans and yellows are the sands. The rays in the center is the blessings God is pouring out on our great country. This is an original design. ekallen@snet.net Old Saybrook, CT	Miss Liberty Eileen Allen This is an original design. The blocks which are in the border represent the waters that surround Manhattan Island. The rays which are decending from the point of the center block reprresent the many blessings God has showered on us, the decendants of those who passed Miss Liberty in New York harbor as they arrived in this great country to start new lives. ekallen@snet.net Old Saybrook, CT	hobbygirl@juno.com

hobbygirl@juno.com	Kitty Dack, ILION, NY akitty@dreamscape.com I've only had my EQ4 Quilt Program for a few months and have not really had time to play with it very much - I thought participating in this challenge would give me a chance to learn. I enjoyed maniupulating the blocks and playing with the colors to come up with this original design.	Marge Bresel, Omaha, NE sivin9@aol.com	Marje Rhine mgrhine@home.com

Dancing Waves Shelly Jones Clear Lake, IA; shellyj@netins.net This is my fist attempt at creating a quilt in EQ. I recieved the program 8/31/01 for my birthday (9/6) I saw there was a challenge and decided to play with the snail's trail block for my first EQ quilt. I was impressed with how easy and fun the program is to use.	Snails Trail at the Lake Meadow Vivian vivianbg@juno.com

All Points Around Ethel Mecklem I designed this quilt for the Club EQ challenge for September. The theme was Nine-Patch. I was fascinated by the beautiful design this made when placed in the horizontal setting. Astoria, Oregon dmeckle@pacifier.com	All Hallows Surrounded Ethel Mecklem I thought this block reminded me of the beautiful fall colors and the intense blue starry nights of fall.

Christmas Ball Joann patches4@visto.com	Cosmic Snail The fabric makes this quilt. The stars in the fabric really make it sparkle. I like the way the boder block repeats the four patch in the snail's trail pattern in the body of the quilt. Linda M.

Treasure Cover Alternating the Monkey Wrench block and a block made of 4 HSTs gave an entirely different look. Kinda looks like the cover of a treasure box.
