Blocks - I inserted
three different block types (pieced, paper-pieced and appliquéd)
into a Diamonds border |
|

Charm Quilts

a new block by superimposing two blocks. The three blocks are placed
in a Spaced Squares border |
|

This had to be
ELECTRIC QUILT |
|

Fabric Stash
- there are lots of fabrics to choose from in the EQ Fabric Library
and in the nine versions of Stash |
|
G
|
Graph Pad - I
took a flower motif and resized it twice. Then I drew a motif to resemble
the Adjust tool icon and placed it around each flower. This tool uses
the Graph Pad a lot |

|
L
|
Libraries - that’s
for blocks, fabrics, palettes, embroidery and layouts |
|
M

Memory Quilts
- for the many EQ blocks that can be used to make memory quilts. Photos
can be imported too |
|
N
|
Notecards - a
good place to document your quilt or block designs |
|
O
|
Overlaid - The
overlaid alphabet blocks fit nicely into this spot. It’s a great
block style |
|
P
|
Palettes - there
are lots to choose from and you can make your own. I used the Big
& Little Points Out for this border, placing a letter in each
big point |
| |
|
|
Q
|
Quilt Layout
Choices - if you can’t think of one yourself, or want to design
something quickly with lots of choices and sizes, the Layout Library
is the place to go in EQ for quilt layouts |
|
R
|
Rotary Cutting
- some blocks give you rotary cutting directions. This is a great
time- saver |
|
S
|
Symmetry Tool
- this tool, used with asymmetrical blocks, produces a variety of
designs. I used the Blocks border twice, placing eight blocks in each
border, then rotated the same block to represent the Symmetry tool |

|
Thread Color
Tool - I coloured quilting stencil blocks different colours using
the Thread Color tool |
|
U

Undo - a handy
tool to have |
|

borders and used Rail Fence III and Diagonal Strips blocks in the
border block spaces |

Wreathmaker -
The candles represent EQ’s anniversary. I made a wreath for
each year (well - from 3 on anyway)! |
|
X
|
Tenth Anniversary
- the reason for this quilt |
|
Y
|
Yardage Estimates
- the emphasis is on estimate - some people like this feature and
some don’t, but once you learn how to use it, it is a good tool |
|
Z
|
Zoom Tool - a
great feature to have especially when designing. I used five Points
out borders, colouring them in staggering colours to create a zig
zag |
