Club EQ Album: July 2004 Challenge: Pieced Borders! Page 3

Use pieced border blocks from the EQ5 Block Library to create at least one border around a quilt that you design. You'll find four pages of border blocks under:
1 Classic Pieced: Checked Borders, Picket Borders, Striped Borders, and Triangle Borders.

Get acquainted with them and use them in a quilt design.You may want to consult the Design Idea Sourcebook section found in EQ5 Quilt Design. All the border blocks and the blocks that will help you turn corners are listed and illustrated. See if you can create more combinations.

Please restrict your borders for this challenge to pieced border blocks. We'll save appliqué and vines for another challenge.

This is an actual quilt top that I hand pieced several years ago, during a time of stress; hence the name. The block was a traditional one I found in a quilting magazine; it was called Mayflower. I designed the border to give the center breathing room and to pick up the many reds in the prints. I plan to finish it now and to machine quilt it.

The center of this quilt was one I designed for the 35 four patch challenge and didn't use. I redrafted the center of the star block to make it easier to piece. The origional quilt had three simple mitered borders.

I made a scrap pineapple with a pieced border I designed myself in EQ and would have liked to use that one except my understanding is we were restricrted to the border blocks in the program. This is the closest I could come to my original one and still only use blocks in EQ, (but with very different colors}.

Paws for Thought

Okay, my obsession with cats and quilts is now "bordering" on insanity! :)
I love the use of both pastels and brights in this quilt. The kitties are from the EQ embroidery library. Many of these borders are my interpretations of several borders featured in Janet Kime's "The Border Workbook".

Seminole Sampler

I included this design in the challenge to show how the border blocks can be used in places other than your quilt borders. Here, rows of border blocks closely resemble traditional Seminole patchwork.

Borders to the View

It is so fascinating to start with absolutely no concept of what one is going to do and then just experiment and play. The way the brain works in creativity when one lets loose is amazing. I love the challenges for that reason. I have only done one other challenge (the June 04) and do try to design quilts I will make. I decided on simplicity this time and no drawings. I didnt think I would enjoy it as much and yet it was so fun ! This one is only a 40x40 wallhanging, but I may sew out a quilt instead.

My second border is from the Tiangle Borders, using Chevrons and Stripes alternatively in the spaced squares option. For the corner I used the Diagonal stripe from the Simple blocks.
The third border uses the block option from the checked borders. 4A and 4B.

Feather Star w/King's Crown

My one and only Feather Star block may get it's first border. The Feather Star is surrounded with King's Crown and Block in the corner that was design to continue the design, after it was done it looked just like Mosaic #19.

Another Border Incident

Thank goodness nobody will ever want to sew this! Just a challenge in geometry, with little in the way of balance, in fact it would be better if it were inside out!
