What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

All the blocks in this project file, and others which have the EQ prefix, are designs direct from the Electric Quilt Block Library. Though i have to admit that I did play with one of the blocks. The centre block in the design above is from the library, which I divided to make four corner blocks. Well, one corner block which I can turn around to use in four corners.

I like the first design as there is is room for quilting to provide interesting texture.

Also like the second design which also has space for added texture after outlining ...

The EQ Dozen project files were amongst the first project files created for the Virtual Quilter blog, and I still like playing whenever I open them … not that I need to as there are plenty of designs in there to cover quite a few more blog posts!

I like the first design best of these two, but the second one is rather interesting.

On the whole I think I like straight sets over on point most of the time, but I still love playing with on point settings.

It is worth it when you find designs like the one above!

This is an extension of the first project file I started to use purely as virtual quilts. I found that mixing straight settings and on point settings meant that i had to keep mixing them up after I had spent time playing with one setting type as I would add at least five designs of one, usually way more. A lot simpler to keep them separate.

I also started playing with sashing which sometimes disappeared.

I wonder if that knotted block would work as a pieced block instead of applique?
