Fruit Stands with Standing Fruit

Nature's Bounty

The Fruit Stand block was drawn, then colored several different ways to suggest the color and bustle of the market place.

The fruit was taken from the EQ blocks using the Search command, then selecting the standing fruit motifs there. The fabrics were selected from the EQ4 range.

The Melon Patch block set alternately with a wreath of corn reminds me of the way American Indians planted melons and squash among their corn plants to use the shade provided by the corn. The Corn and Beans block in the border corns honors the third of the "Sacred Sister" plants so vital to the American Indians' survival.

This simple quilt showcases the RJR pallette "Kyle's Market Place" set in plain blocks with a sashing that reminds me of dried corn. The pumpkins in the wide border are from the Quilt Design Wizard project for October 2003. The cornerstones are set with a motif created from a PatchDraw Block.

Grapes are the Purple's Choice

Victoria, British Columbia

A golden banana lays on my blue black countertop.
It's curve like an autumn crescent moon.
I slip off its thick pliant skin, peeling in four strips to reveal pale, creamy flesh.
The smell is sweet and thick. I bite, the flesh is dense and I remark on the perfect roundness of the tube.
How lovely that they come packaged in bunches, for there will be another one for me tomorrow.

Submitted for the EQ5 November 2006 Challenge "Fruits and Veggies."

Two fruit-related blocks (Raspberry Cream and Orange Blossom) are combined with the Reel block and set on variable point. Each of the blocks and most of the fabric can be found in the EQ5 library.

My husband was in Orlando for business travel. I missed him!

I searched for 'orange' blocks in EQ's libraries and used them all in this quilt.

Who ate the fruit?

Using Easy Draw I created a jar and used all fabrics with veggies and fruit fabrics.

Sandy, Utah

Original design for November Challenge.

Our new version will be out before these designs are on-line! This was initially drawn as part of the Beta test and I redrew it in EQ5 for the challenge. Putting text in the borders is Too Much Fun now, just type and go with so many neat fonts to choose from. I used ones from Gordon's lastest font exchange.

This little wall hanging is definitely on my "to do" list... maybe it will be done in time for next Thanksgiving. When I actually make this, the grapes annd plums will be done in batiks like the other fruit. For some reason, my greatest challege today has been keeping the file size respectable!

Haymarket, VA

I started trying to make a fruit & vegetable alphabet, but didn't get very far! The watermelon fabric is from a 'Quilt Design Wizard' project called "Let's Have a Picnic" - June 2004.

Northeastern Ontario

Using the Fruit blocks form the Library I decided that they looked too tempting so I removed the fruit in stages and left a mess to clean up!

I used blocks from the Library

Background consists of a 4 X 3 grid of 4 basic blocks from the EQ library in muted colors to complement the appliquéd autumn vegetables and flowers.
Pumpkin & squash motifs were designed in PatchDraw and placed on layer 2 along with
EQ's Blackeyed Susans modified to colorful Gerbera Daisies.

Ridgefield, NJ

Digital photos taken in the Napa Valley of California of ripe grapes hanging from their vines inspired this wallhanging.
The borders were intended as a frame for a photo printed on fabric but for this challenge I designed an appliqué version for the center. The 'tiles' which surround it replicate the grape motif which also is repeated in the outer border.
BTY it was a great vacation!

Ridgefield, NJ

I used the new Merge block and automatic borders features in this project. So easy to do!

Hello,
I took some designs of the other quilt and play with the color. This is kind of modern art!

Hello,
I found a great website with nice designs for window colors and really practical to make them using patchdraw (website).
I am really happy of my pineapple and so I put it in the middle and use the pineapple block for the border. I designed all the fruits and vegetables except the watermelon that belongs to the EQ library.
