I could try lighter or darker hues of the colors I'm thinking of. Perhaps I want to use a different color combo, I can add the colors/fabrics I may want to try and see how it would look. I rarely use a pattern, but even it I do, I can draw the quilt in EQ, so that I can play with that before I make it.
Margaret, While I do play with EQ everyday (ok maybe only 6 days out of 7)I do use it for every quilt I make. Have you designed any flying geese quilts? The same one in a different color combination Here’s a custom layout just using different flying geese blocks It’s just as easy to INSERT a border, here I chose a 2” border and then on the 2nd border I added ONE more block to each. Here the blocks were 8” so I added a 4” border and selected BLOCKS and added double the blocks as was in the layout per side (so here it was 5 x 6, so the blocks on the border were 10 x 12) It’s also easy to add flying geese to borders I also found a block called “flying away”Īnd used it in a layout with an alternate nine patch block The same quilt with a horizontal layout is not quite as dramatic Here is a simple layout on point with a four patch on alternate blocks What I did differently here, was to highlight the center diamond If you search for “geese” in EQ under blocks, you’ll get the first 50 blocks!
