January 2007 Challenge: Draw your own Blocks! (Page 2)

"Draw your own block. Do NOT use a block as is from the EQ Block Library or any other EQ product. You may alter a block by adding or removing lines, superimposing two blocks, combining blocks to create a new single block, or draw an original block. Set the block(s) into a quilt."

Which Way is UP

The wall hanging uses the Larkspur wreath in a simple four block quilt.

My custom block is actually a MINI Crazy Quilt too!

I envision this block as a mini crazy quilt sachet or wall hanging, but it can easily be used as a block on a pillow, shirt or tote bag too. The yellow outline is a guide to see what the quilt would look like with piping, ruffles, or lace trim.

Substitute the embroideries for real lace trim, accents, and buttons.

Happy Valentines Day!

Ohio

"May Pinwheel" has been quartered and symmetry applied a couple times. Two favorite things in EQ is Symmetry Tool and Fabric swap, gave me a lot to play with.


Albany, NY

This is my first submission for the EQ Challenge. I used the Spring Flower Border as my block.
I made a promise to myself to learn to use EQ, not just keep buying the upgrades and let it sit there! I look forward to participating in more challenges.

Butterfly Garden

Designed for clubEQ January, 2007

First I took the Hawaiian Applique Scroll block and added lines to the center to give the block a patchy background. For the border, I took the same block and cut the Hawaiian applique down to 1/4 of the block. Then I put two back to back. Latte quilts are so popular now and here is another.

Texas

This was designed around these fabrics during a snow storm and I was missing spring.

Port Orchard, WA

I love watching the butterflies flit among the herbs & flowers in my deck garden.

I combined the double pickle and dresden plate blocks and revised the combined block.


Ontario, Canada

This quilt is comprised of an original block I drew and is done in my favorite colors depicting my favorite place.

Keymar, MD

Autumn's Promise is done using the same original block as "Sailing into a Keywest Sunset."

Keymar, MD

For this quilt I simplified the dahlia block and placed in in alternate squares to give a more open look to the quilt.

Nothing

I took two blocks from the library and combined them Then I deleted some lines and added others. I thought the finished result looked like one of those glass paperweights made up of hundreds of pieces of glass.

I changed the Poppy block and made four new ones with the merge function.
I also used a Strip block and changed it.

Norway

A combination of Mosaic No. 17 block and one quarter of the Delectable Mountains block. The Symmetry tool works great to create endless variations of this block placed in various quilt settings.

Winnipeg, MB Canada

Superimposing. I like to play with two blocks together.

The primary block in this quilt was created by superimposing Compass Star and Dakota Star.

Houston, Texas

I wondered how an asymmetrical NYB would look, so I drew something similar in EQ6. The border blocks are "original" also. The quilt started out to be mainly green but quickly morphed into the fruity colors you see now. This is my first EQ quilt - what fun!

Fairbanks, Alaska

This could also be called "Dreaming of the Tropics" -a common activity in the long dark Alaskan winter. Rosa Jamaica (Hibiscus in Spanish) started with a star block from the EQ6 library, but I can't remember which one, and not many if any of the original lines remain.

Stars and Hearts

I used the tangled star block that I changed in 3 different blocks (using round shapes). I used a celtic border (in EQ6 library) to complete the quilt.


France

I designed the circle block and then with the help a friend (thanks Cécile!) I put colors and the borders.

France

The inspiration for this quilt came from a painted floor design. The corners of the heart block provide the extra points on the ouside edges of the stars. The star block itself was modifed from one in the "album block" category, as this quilt was originally designed in EQ5 and there was no sawtooth star in the library. I've since discovered that there is one in EQ6, but feel I am not cheating in still using it as it is altered by the interaction with the heart block. The treetop is simply divided in two to make it more "scrappy" and to comply with the challenge of not using a block in its original format.

Guildford, England

I used an on-point layout for this quilt, setting the drawn blocks that form the outer points of the stars in the sashing. The heart motive has been modified by adding an additional heart inside the first.

The block is a plain eight point star.

The layout is a plain horizontal quilt. The eight point star looks elegant in these muted colors, like a tile floor.

The border is a stripe pattern, and the corners are Corner 11.


Kewaskum, WI

The block is Corner 11, with curved lines instead of straight. Rotating in the baby blocks setting creates many patterns. This one looks like stained glass.

The border is single swags.


Kewaskum, WI

The drunkard's path blockhas been t fascination. I have made several quilts with using a large scale block. More recently I have been working on a designs with flowers in the 'moons'.

I have only been using EQ5 for a few months and love it! I especially enjoy editing a block or learning to draw my own. I look forward to constructioning in fabric a quilt that I have designed in EQ.

West Columbia, South Carolina

I had nothing in mind when I desiged this quilt, it just sort of evolved. I guess I am getting spring fever early this year.

Linda Price
Humboldt, Iowa

I made this block by using EQ's wreath maker to create a four-tulip crossing design. I then used the wreath function a second time to create a wreath consisting of four of the tulip crosses.

Needham, MA

The original block is
Irish Logs.

Pasco, Washington.
