Creating the basket in patch draw, so that it could be set without a block line, was a challenge indeed!

The center block first emerged when a quarter round block was set into one of the special layouts. I then took a picture, imported the picture, and retraced it in patch draw! It was origionally an all red quilt, but I missed that challenge deadline.. The small stars were done using wreath maker. A quilt destined to be totally virtual.

Circlequilt
Made using
patch draw and shape tools. Center used shape tool to make poinsettia
and oval tool to make flames. Drew uneven flying geese with line tool
in inner border. Created applique border using oval tool and arc tool
for vine. This is my own design and my first try at using these tools.

Partridge in a Pear Tree
Probably due to the holiday whirl, my first thought when I saw this
challenge was to design something to represent the Twelve Days of Christmas.
I quickly realized that I'd *never* get all of the song's elements into
a quilt design without going stark raving mad, so I decided to settle
for just the partridge and the pears. I had lots of "trial and error"
versions, including one that looked like a tiny partridge being attacked
by a horde of marauding giant pears. Anyway, when I finished the basic
design, I just couldn't leave well enough alone. I added the holly sprigs
and stars to give the design a little more of a Christmas-y touch. As
usual with a challenge project, I learned a lot in the process of creating
this entry!

This is an original
design, and it was quite a challenge! It took all day to get it to look
the way I wanted and I still could spend more time perfecting it.

This design was inspired by a Franklin
Mint pendant of the same name. It is based on an event in Sweden, "The
Land of the Midnight Sun". A festival is held June 20th each year to
celebrate the eve of summer solstice, and the music, dancing, and merrymaking
continue all through the night. The pendant evokes the glory of the
midnight sun, and also the custom of the seven different flowers that
a single girl places underneath her pillow to dream of the man she will
marry. The pendant is made of fine black porcelain with raised flowers
brushed with gold and platinum. I bought it with the intention of someday
making a quilt from its design. I've already bought inky black fabric
for the background and have started collecting various golds and silver
fabrcis for the "metal" flowers and sun. My rendition of the design
in EQ is made up of just two motifs placed in Layer 2. First I scanned
the pendant and imported it as a bmp. to trace in PatchDraw. Then I
drew a simple tassel and used wreathmaker to create another circular
motif to suggest the fringed/tasseled trim (ala Charlotte Kleiner -
thanks for sharing the idea, Charlotte!).

Just played with curves and circles
in PatchDraw for the EQ round quilt challenge and ended up with this
design - what fun! In my head I keep hearing Tommy James & the Shondells'
song "Sweet Cherry Wine", but to me the quilt looks more like pie than
wine so we compromised.

A few years ago, when I first started using EQ4, I never would have guessed that drawing a Mariner's Compass would be the easy part. This border was my second complete attempt. I would still like it to be narrower. Also, I had a lot of trouble keeping the width of the interlacings even.

Circles of Love
This was my first attempt. Used Wreathmaker to create outside ring of
hearts then drew the scallopes. Finished with simple heart groupings
in center area. Selection of center area fabric inspired addition of
circles to outside ring to echo berries in fabric print.

I belong to a small group of former Women Marines that are all Quilters. We get together the week of Christmas and visit until the second week of the new year. While our husbands golf, we create one quilt project. It was my turn to host the group and to create the project and instructions. This is what I came up with.

My Puss In The Garden
I set up a
1 block horizontal quilt with an 8 inch mitered border. I copied the
cat from EQ5 applique blocks and set in layer 1 then got several motifs
from EQ5 motifs library and copied the letter O from the alphabet blocks.
I set the cat then on layer 2 set the letter O and adjusted it to cover
the cat block corners and then went to the borders tab and deleted the
border and Voila a round quilt. I then set the applique motifs around
the cat.
