February 2007 Challenge: Blocks within Blocks! (Page 2)

  1. (EQ5 & EQ6) Set one block on Layer 1. Set the other block on Layer 2 above one of the square or rectangle patches of the lower block.
  2. (EQ5 & EQ6) Edit a block with squares or rectangles in it. Draw your second block inside one of these spaces. Recolor and add the new block to the Sketchbook. Set this block in the quilt.
  3. (EQ6 only) Use the new EQ6 "Merge Block" feature (page 259) to put one block in the square space of another block. Set this new block in the quilt.
  4. (EQ6 only) Use the new EQ6 "Create Quilt from Block" feature (page 175) and convert a qualifying Sketchbook block into a quilt layout. Set other blocks in these spaces.

My first variation of combining block 2876 from Block Base and a modified Shofly block. I added hearts for february. I like how this blockcombination makes circular spaces to fill.with appliqué for example.

Kiruna, Sweden

This is the same blockcombination, block 2876 from Block Base and the modified Shofly block. This one has quilting in the circular spot.

Kiruna, Sweden

I created a quilt from the "album quilt" block. I filled this quilt with the "Rail fence" block and draw a new one for the border.
It was a fun and interesting challenge

I used the block "jewel" from the library and use the tool serendipity to frame this block. I put then a stencil from the library on it.

On the Quilt Trail

This was designed using the "create quilt from block" feature. The block used was "Random Stripes 2" and the resulting grid was then set with Ohio Star, Indiana Puzzle and Simple Bargello

Guildford, England

This was designed by merging blocks with Serendipity. The blocks used were Uneven Nine Patch with Flower Petals set in the centre square. The quilt uses the Flower Petals block in its original format in alternate blocks to prevent the quilt from becoming too busy. Double Four Patch blocks set in the outer triangles of the on-point setting provide a secondary design around the edge of the quilt.

Guildford, England

I called this quilt serendipity, because when I came back to it after several days, I couldn'e remeber exactly why I decided on this design. I started with the blocks from last months challenge and went frim there!


several States have painted quilts on barns and encourage people to follow the quilt Trail.

I used the Four Patch Art Square block as my quilt layout and filled it with a Friendship Star, a King's Crown and a New Album block. I sized the blocks on the graph pad.

Mission, KS

I used the Four Patch Art Square block as my quilt layout and filled it with a Friendship Star, a King's Crown and a New Album block. I sized the blocks on the graph pad as well as rotating the four block to be on point. I like this design better than the first one.

I combined the Attic Window Block with two different Flower Blocks and then placed additional flowers on the second layer of the quilt.

Designed for the EQ Club. I experimented with the merge block. I figured if merging was good then framing must be better, so I tried it out. Framing was better, but what about tilting. Tilting was great!

My first impression when I put these blocks in the baby block layout was that of 'Oh no, my blocks are falling apart'. Quilt names can come from the silliest of things.

The quilt layout is based on the 5-Grid Chain block from the block library (using the 'make quilt from block' option).
The other block used is the Road to California. The centre block was drawn to look like two intersecting Road to California blocks.
The iris motif also comes from the block library

Adelaide, Australia

Made using the 'Creating a Quilt from a Block' feature. The block used is '8 Grid Chain Variation', which is also used in the quilt.
