Possible Quilt Settings
As I mentioned on Facebook, I have been playing with some possible settings for the Block of the Month Appliqué blocks. I hadn’t thought about a setting when I designed the blocks, so now that I have a few months done, I decided to try out some settings.
Most of you are probably familiar with EQ or Electric Quilt, which is a quilt design program for the PC and MAC. I have used it for a long time, even though I am a MAC user, I purchased a PC, just so I could use it, because until last year it was ONLY for the PC. The MAC version was finally introduced, so of course I upgraded to EQ7 for the MAC.
I have not used it to design appliqué blocks, but I have worked at it. Just don’t feel as proficient as I do with Adobe Illustrator.
So since I didn’t have the appliqué blocks in EQ, I imported the photos of five of the blocks and using the photos as blocks, setting them with pieced blocks from EQ.
Now to the decision, which setting do I prefer? Would love to hear from all of you. Which one do you prefer? Please leave your comments below. I do have a favorite, but I am not telling.
Is it quilt A, B, C, D or E? Please don’t be confused because some of the appliqué blocks are the same, it isn’t about the appliqué, it is about the quilt setting.
Quilt A 
Quilt B 
Quilt C 
Quilt D 
Quilt E Tags: appliqué, batik, block-of-the-month, BOM, Craftsy, Electric Quilt, EQ, fabric, flowers
I like the flying geese in A.
Yes and they are fun to do the quick way!
I like the wildness of B and C, but thick dark borders are not my thing….so I think I would do C with a border closer to E, maybe a little thinner border.
All of them are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Thank you for your input. I always think of a a dark border framing the inner quilt. Always like to hear another point of view. I will keep that in mind.
I like E.
This is going to be hard!
A and E.
A is getting the most votes!
A is my favorite, but D runs a close second. 🙂
Yes Kim, I like A too, but the others appeal in different ways!
Quilt A is my choice.
Thank you Juleen, I thought a diagonal set would be interesting.
