Hint of Spring

Decided to show my wistful side this month. Why? Because wildflowers flowers are already starting to bloom in our butterfly garden. Barbara Gilstad

Bertha Hawley
String Art Cross

This just has to be opened and viewed without the patch and block lines. It will fill out to the edges. I loved string art as a kid and was challenged to recreate it in EQ. When you look at the block without color you will see that I drew the "strings" on both sides, but I gave out before I could get it colored.

Batik Flower

Can you find the Drunkard's Path? I got this idea from Quilters Cache. She took a block similar to Crossed Canoes and added lines for an Op-Art look. I drew four basic Drunkard's Path quarter circles all going the same way, then alternated the bisecting lines. I kept the borders simple so the center flower could bloom.

Salsa

Using Louisa Smith's methods in her book "Strips and Curves" and a wonderful musical print, I made this quilt. I didn't try to do it with scanned fabric because it takes too much memory. I used 18 coordinating fabrics to make strip sets for the blocks. Then I cut the pieces with the provided templates. Strips were 1 1/2 inches wide--finished at 1 inch. Finished blocks were 9 inches.

Challenge Star

Austin, TX I used the Star 22 layout to set my own drafted fan block. Peace Dove blocks make the border. The large-sized patches leave room for fancy hand or machine quilting. Quilt is colored with 9 of the 150 Jinny Beyer New Palette fabrics available from quilthome.com.

Two blocks were used; the Daisy Petal Fan, and the Peace Dove. I kept the border simple to show off the curves of the quilt. Dorothy Ford from Arkansas

Pretty In Pink

I used the North Baltimore Fan block set in an on-point setting. I edited the block by drawing in stems and leaves, and added Burrerflies In Flight applique to fill in space at the top. Dorothy Ford from Arkansas

Rising Sun

The "Around the World" block and the "Fan Flower" block were alternated on a five block grid. A simple block border was used with the Drunkard's Path block rotated to form half and three-quarter cirlces.

Whirling Thru Space

In the layout library I used the special effects #4 setup with the Fan Flower block to create the large X. The Drunkards path block was used to create the three-quarter cirlce. The Border is a simple block border with the "Mayflower" Block used to add the X's around the border.

I used two blocks from the EQ Library: Drunkard's Path and Jan's Fan.

Hinamatsuri

Combination of several blocks based on the Drunkard's Path and Fan blocks. The Flowers and leaves are from EQ5's Motif Library. I came up with this design quite by accident while rotating some double drunkard's path blocks with the symmetry tool. It revealed the sillouhette of the girl and the fan shapes. I had only to redraft the blocks to reveal the fan and the girl's faces. Hinamatsuri is Girl's Day- a springtime festival in Japan. While living in Tokyo, Hinamatsuri was one of my favorite times of year with the lovely soft pastel candies and floral decorations for little girl's parties and colorful displays of traditional dolls depicting the Emperor and Empress and their full court in their finest clothes. This quilt reminds me of those beautiful dolls. :) Heather Miller Bellingham, Washington

Lilacs and Vines

I hope this quilt meets the Challenge Guidelines! I wondered what a block would look like if the corner curve of a drunkard's path were rotated so that it pointed in instead of out. I made 2 of these curves in opposite corners of the block and then connected them with an orange peel shape. It seemed natural at that point to fill the large open space in the middle of the block with another orange peel type shape. Although it looks complicated, this block would be do-able, especially with hand piecing. To me, this quilt looks like a meandering vine with the purple evoking the feeling of blooming lilacs.

Cleopatra's Puzzle

The main block in the center is a drunkard's path block called Cleopatra's Puzzle. I would make these blocks by piecing a stata of fabrics and them cutting the drunkard's path blocks from this pieced fabric like Louisa Smith does in her book Strips and Curves.

Fantastic Journey

Knox, NY I used Daisy Petal Fan and Floating Fan and played with symmetry. When I was coloring it I went through the Fabric libraries and found likely fabrics. As soon as I placed the grey in the background, I knew I loved it. My DH helped me tweak the colors. I'm a beginning quilter and a EQ5 newbie. Someday this may get made but for now I have fun playing with the possibilities.

Where Have All The Fans Gone
I started this quilt by using the two fan blocks in the Center Medallion-8 layout. As I saw different shapes, I highlighted them in various colors. It took on a life of its own until I didn;t see the design as fans anymore. What fun! Linda M. Remley Brockport, New York February, 2004

Fandango

This quilt rerminds me of the time my husband and I performed the Fandango dance in a production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Gondoliers. This could be a bird's eye view of the skirts as they twirled around. Linda M. Remley Brockport, New York February, 2004
