Plano Texas. A subtle blue monochromatic quilt where the emphasis is as much on the quilting as on the fabric or peicing.

Started with Lena's Choice, Cross Roads, and two by four Rail Fence and built from there.

This came from the layout library in EQ6. The corner blocks are from Classic Applique blocks, 1920's and 1930's.

Horizontal layout with alternating Star of North Carolina and Priscilla blocks.

Elgg, Netherlands

This just about meets the criteria of the challenge, with its single, large lone star block and an applique moon. A spattering of applique stars adds the final touch.

Guildford, England

This uses a simple star block, and a carrie nation chain block and then four diamond in a square blocks around an applique block to create the central star.

I decided to play with a "new" add on I got called angle play so the pallette and some of the blocks and the layout are from that. I know it alot of colors but hey the more the merrier....Even threw in Lime Green after all what's a quilt with out lime green

Winter Carnival celebrates with Fireworks over snow. Combining Fireworks Star and Snowball block create some geometric eye-candy that adds to the feeling of celebration. Try viewing this with the 'outline blocks' and 'outline patches' unchecked to see the secondary stars and rings better.

Fireworks Star and Kaleidoscope in Lemoyne proportions created the bonus 5 4-point stars.

This was a cool idea Barb.

Blocks - EQ Stars and Beams and Four-four X.

Blocks - Tangled Stars and Tangle stars alternative block. I was playing with the black and grey colouring and just one colour. I drew the alternative block after converting the block to guides and tracing some of the lines to give a more open block in the same grid.

I was trying to get a woven look behind the stars by using a directional fabric. The one I chose is fairly subtle though. Perhaps a stronger directional fabric would emphasize the effect.

I have included two designs for you to enjoy!

The Chicago Star and a variation of Fanny's Fan block were used to create this quilt. One of the Auto Borders was used as inspiration for the border.

We've had some beautiful sunsets this Spring here in the high desert.

Sparks, Nevada USA

Sunrises in my rear-view mirror on the way to work in the morning. The green is the mossy Spring growth on the mountain sides.

Haven't had much time for EQ lately, and definitely hadn't checked out any of the new features in EQ6, but a recent Guild program got me started again. I love the automatic border feature. Thanks to Jo Moury for challenging me to do this challenge.
