![]() ![]() ![]() I was curious what the pattern would look like in Tula Pink’s True Colors Fabric Collection since I have the entire collection in fat quarters sitting in my sewing room! So I swapped all the batik colors for solid colors and came up with this pretty quilt. ![]() Rather pretty 10 years ago, but the palette looks dated now. The original background color was chocolate brown, and the bright colors were all batiks. I recreated each block in EQ by photographing the blocks, and tracing them using PatchDraw in EQ. ![]() This quilt was designed in an applique block design workshop with my guild. The scale and colors make choosing prints exciting when making the quilt, but they make the EQ design process more difficult. That way, I can see the desig n without focusing on the right choice of prints for the project. You could print this landscape orientation (rather than portrait) to get more of the design on one piece of paper.The primary reason I use EQ to design my applique quilts is that I can quickly recolor any quilt by swapping out colors with the When coloring an applique quilt in EQ, I often use solid colors to represent the fabrics in my color palette. Then print this, making the size 6″ Ver x 30″ Hor in our example size. While that Feather image is still selected, click EDIT > Paste 4 more times to create 4 more repeated images which you would move to place along your long block, creating the design with 5 repeated images.Click EDIT > Paste to paste down the copied “Feather” design on your new blank block.Click View Sketchbook > select the new blank block you made > click the Edit button to send it down to the worktable.Click EDIT > Select all > EDIT > Copy to copy the design on the block.Then Click View Sketchbook > find your “Feather” block > click the Edit button to edit the “Feather” block down to the worktable.You would add this block (blank block) to the Sketchbook. You would make the Snaps vertical what they were when the block was drawn, and snaps vertical 6 x that number. You would make the drawing worktable be 6″ Ver x 30″ (5 x 6″) Hor. For exampleįor example, imagine you had a feather design which you wanted to be 6″ x 6″ and you wanted it repeated 5 times along a border. If you are making a quilting design, and want that design repeated, what you would do is figure out what size you wanted for the design, and how many times you wanted that repeated, and create a long block with the design repeated that many times. The printed guidelines along the paper edge show you where to match the sheets together, matching guidelines, and you can hold the sheets of paper together with a bit of tape. If the design needs to fit over more than one sheet of paper, depending on the size you’ve asked for, it will print what it can on one sheet, then print as many other sheets as needed until the whole design is printed. When you print, choose FILE > Print > Block > under style choose Quilting Stencil. Yes, you can create pantographs with EQ7. ![]()
