electric quilt applique blocks

EQ Album OP Recolour 1, 2 from Virtual Quilter

Yesterday I said I might try some new colours, so when I woke up way too early I started playing.

I intended using a light background, but it hasn’t happened, but the colours are prettier than the originals.

EQ Album OP 51, 52 from Virtual Quilter

These designs would suit a very old bed style in a very old style bedroom.

I think I might start a new project file … keep the designs, but change the fabrics.

EQ Dozen + Quilting 29, 30 from Virtual Quilter

In my early playtimes with Electric Quilt I selected blocks from the EQ library, and kept rearranging them to see what happened.

I am still finding interesting designs twenty years later!

Very little applique in the second design, but the quilting in contrast thread shows up well, with space for filler designs as well.

Baker’s Dozen 49, 50 from Virtual Quilter

In this project file, the blocks are from the Electric Quilt library, but I have mixed up pieces from some of the blocks, and altered the layouts of most of the blocks in some way, and have continued to use the blocks in their original form.

The other difference between this and the EQ Dozen projects is that this one started with a baker’s dozen … 13 blocks as opposed to 12 blocks!

EQ Mix ‘n’ Match 3, 4 from Virtual Quilter

When I posted the first two designs from this project file yesterday I was happy with the block designs, and with the colours, but thought I could make the overall design better.

What if … I added sashing, but that didn’t appeal to me, so I have modified the sashing to the now you see it, now you don’t variety.

I changed the width of the sashing from the 2 inches I started with between the 12 inch blocks, to 0.5 of an inch, and used contrast fabric in only some of them!

The first design is the ...

EQ Dozen + Quilting 21, 22 from Virtual Quilter

EQ Dozen was the first project file I opened so I could play with a small collection of blocks … it grew to a dozen blocks selected from the Electric Quilt 5 library, and over the years it has been updated to new versions of the program, but the blocks are still the same old blocks.

The collection of projects has grown as I added sashing and quilting motifs, but the block collection is unchanged, though a few have been modified slightly, and in this file some of them have become quilting motifs..

The first design today is a bit busy ...
