January 2007 Challenge: Draw your own Blocks! (Page 3)

"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."

The original block is Paducah Peony.

Pasco, Washington.

Here I have set the block in a Horizontal set, which gives an on-point feel made by the meeting of the corner elements of the blocks.

Both quilts use an adaptation of a Judy Martin block. I named the block "Granny's Block" because I am known as "Granny" to both my own grandchildren and the little ones at my church.

Canoga Park, CA

Here I set the block on point creating a sashed look.

It is my first time to join the EQ challenge.
So, I tried to bread this easy block.
Then I found "Simple is Best".

The Life block in a baby block layout.

My first original block design. Art Deco style. Depending on the coloration this could be a stylized sunrise/sunset, a flock of birds, a school of fish, or a tree (with a half row offset).

I love to sew Japanese folded techniques. I have sewn alot of this before.

I love my EQ6...

Torbay's official colors are blue, white, tourquoise and yellow. I changed the color of the yellow square in alternative blocks.

Torquay, UK

I saw an antique amish quilt similar to this a while back, except it only had 2 tulips in each corner,and I always thought that it needed 4. It really makes me think of spring.

Gypsum, KS

I was inspired by the basket quilts I saw at a show recently. They were group quilts and the participants had let their imagination run free in designing their blocks. I designed a knitting basket block and set it with other EQ basket blocks.

The Netherlands

Added several more angles to a basic block from the library. Fasset fabric palette.

This is the quilt I made for the RJR Sew Fun challenge last fall. The quilt shop I sew for was sent 1 yard cuts of a new line of fabric coming out this spring.

This is a variation the the quilt I submitted for the RJR Sew Fun challenge last fall.

All the blocks in this quilt are variations of the same design, with design components deleted to make the simpler variations and different colorings used to achieve the overall design.

I like earth tones combined with black. The colors of this quilt remind me of the US Southwest. This quilt was originally deisgned in 2003 while I was living in Richmond, Virginina, with the intention of using batiks and black solid. I have yet to make the quilt, but I still have the fabrics.

I like complex geometric patterns, especially those that have a stained glass look. This block was designed with Easy Draw in EQ5.

The name comes from the blue fabric color and the diamonds in the overall design.

This block is a combination of Baby Aster and Star of the West, with some modifications.

Mission, KS

I used the EQ Library block Right and Left, then drew and applique center.

I didn't make a note on the base block for this quilt. It can easily be a revised Blockade, perhaps preceding the Rainbow Diamonds.

My changes to the Blockade block immediately suggested a rainbow coloring. This coloring resulted in striking diamonds.

My Garden Went Crazy

I've been wanting to play with curves and large 'dots' for some time now and this challenge seemed like the best way to start.

Lincoln, NE

This idea came from a puzzle I saw in
the Sunday newspaper. The caption was
"How many squares are there in this picture?"

Sheboygan, WI

I used the Random Recolor tool and
also added more blocks to the first Flower Puzzle quilt.

Sheboygan, WI

I'm experimenting with curves at the moment and I really like this Nine Patch variation.
