February 2007 Challenge: Blocks within Blocks! (Page 3)

This block was created by inserting the block Twisted Log Cabin into the square in the same block using the new merge tool. I then saved the merged block and inserted it into the square. I repeated the oricess one more time

This is a visual example of a concept called recursion in computing. A particular sequence of commands calls itself with smaller parameters until a stopping condition is met. In the quilting world, the stopping condition would be when you decide it is still possible to create.

This quilt puts the block in the baby block setting.

Using the same block as in Infinity I, this quilt puts the block in the on point setting.

Two of my favorite blocks: monkey wrench and birds/geese.

Thank you EQ for this challenge! I have really enjoyed learning and playing with Merging Blocks!!! I did not know about this feature and have had so much fun! This will certainly open up a whole new world of design for me!

I used the wreath maker to draw an applique block, then used "Merge Blocks" to insert it into a King's Crown block. I used the same applique drawing to create a quilting stencil.

Needham, MA

I merged the blocks 'Flying Squares' with 'Washington's Puzzle' to create this new block filled with 'transparency coloration' ideas! In this on-point setting I've included all 3 blocks.

Lincoln, NE

I adapted the Single Irish Chain from the Library so that I could merge the rose in the center. The rose was adapted from the single flower in the Classic Applique Library.

Roslyn, PA

I used the Four Leaf Clover block from the Library with an adapted rose from the Library superimposed on Layer 2.

Designed for EQ challenge february 2007 using the storm at sea block from the library.

This month I decided to work with a "One Patch Quilt" and thought, "I wonder how the quilt would look with no borders." Much to my surprise, I came up with some pretty unusual quilts with irregular shapes.

I haven't played much with putting blocks on Layer 2, so this months' challenge seemed like a good time to play with Layer 2.

Adding the embroidery designs to Layer 3 was the icing on the cake! They really make this quilt look like a doily.

Cats are in the attic and the birds are in an Ohio square.

For this quilt I inserted the border cats into a churn dash blockset into a diamond in the square block. The center cat as well as the birds flying around it are also in a diamond in the square.

The same medallion is used in both quilts on layer 2. Back ground block is from the EQ5 block library.

Corvallis, OR

Medallion on layer 2 used in both quilts. It was part of a class project in Patti Anderson's QU advanced drawing class.
The background block is a segmented diamond in a square.

Corvallis, OR

I used the "Memory" block and the "Pat's Palm" block from Sew Precise 1-2. (Yes, I designed Pat's Palm!)
I set Pat's Palm in the center of the Memory block on Layer 2.
In real life, I've made this block for a Sampler Quilt that I use on my bed. Not these colors, though!
This EQ6 project file is available for download at my website.

Using baby blocks setting, I used the merge blocks feature to combine a perspective box and a tile block

Ottawa, KS

This is the same setting as the first quilt but I used random recolor to get a whole new look, and used the rotate tool to change the configuration of the blocks.
