Designed for clubEQ challenge, October, 2003: Tessellations
Is the figure an oak leaf or a gecko? I assume it's some of each. Just
for fun I had to have a gecko romping in the leaves. The quilt design
and coloring evolved by using the figure to form a block.

I found this month's challenge especially exciting. And if I told you how many quilts I designed before finally settling on this one, I'm sure you wouldn't believe me! No wonder I design EQ5 quilts in my dreams. I picked this one because I really want to make it for my daughter-in-law Colleen, as these are her colors. Guess you know what I'll be shopping for at the International Quilt Festival in Houston in a couple of weeks.

HELP!! I've Lost My Square and Don't Know Where To Find It
My own twisted mind.
This should be titled "I've Lost My Mind Trying To Do This".
I followed Barbs instructions from InfoEQ and this block happened. But
try as I might to do another even very simple block, one node would
not close. Even drawing a straight line and cloning and rotating left
one node open. Five hours later, my hand is numb and my husband is hungry.
I'm entering this lonely blob so I can get other peoples files and try
to figure out where I'm going wrong.

This was my first attempt at tessellations. I took Jinny Beyers Tessellations class in Houston and always wanted to try to create tessellations in EQ. Thanks to the challenge I had the courage to try it.

At last! This is
something I have wanted to try for some time. I learned so much about
EQ5 by doing this challenge.

Didn't try to make anything. This is addicting like wreathmaking. This time I just cloned and parked in place because it each motif had four sides that fit together. Voila, tessalation!

I did it like Jinny Beyer showed, but in EQ5 instead of cutting up a card. It was a challenge, that's for sure. Didn't even attempt to try to make it look like something. Not enough time for that.

Colourful Potpourri
Stars of Escher, funny cats, sloping fishes and rows of shaded T's are the easiest kinds of tesselations. You should display or print this quilt without outline Patches!

I tried to make a puzzle with plenty of single elements, but ... it is much easier to make a block of four elements! So I have designed this quilt in this way.

Hey, fellas, wait for me!
This does not fit the definition of true tesselation -- it isn't all connected and doesn't go on 'to infinity'. But this month's quilts are not being graded and they're not to be sewn. They're just to delight the eye.
I started with a triangle, pulled it apart and put it back together with the two top sides back-to-back. It's a bird!

Shape #7
This is another exercise that reminds me of eating peanuts: just one more...
I started with a square and came up with half this shape. I cloned that shape and put the straight edges together, converted that to guides, and traced it.
This was the first time I've had reason to use the 'Crop to ...' buttons. It makes me wonder what else EQ5 can do that I haven't discovered for myself yet.

Faces in the Crowd II
Designed for a tessellation
challenge.
My 3-sided patches only tessellate in a six patch circle. Partial patches
are set in the corners to show more faces in the crowd, because at this
point, I'd enjoyed all of this I could stand.

Faces in the Crowd
Designed as a Tessellation
- the patches tessellate, but when I set them into a quilt the design
didn't totally tessellate. Still, if you study it awhile, my 3-sided
face blocks show up in the design.

This was the hardest challenge yet!! But I am very glad I participated in it. I learned so much about the program from this, and after all, that is what the challenges are for! I hope someone will take on the next challenge, and really make this quilt!
