take a little time to load.
Go get a 'cuppa' and by the time you get back, the page will be up!
Thank you to the 35 participants who contributed 42 .prj files to the clubEQ March Challenge.
| March Challenge -- One Block, Baby!
Choose an interesting block from the EQ3 Block Library or create an original block. Use the Baby Blocks setting to get an effect that will be quite a surprise. Quilts this month will be set only in the Baby Blocks layout. You may use any block you want, though you may find that some will work much better than others. Experiment. Create a quilt that has a very different overall look because you skewed the square block to a 60 degree diamond in the Baby Blocks layout. ***Please do not submit 3D isometric quilts this time. Save them for another challenge month.*** Your mission this month, should you choose to accept it, is to create a quilt that no one has seen before because no one thought to take your choice for a square block and skew it. Create a quilt with an overall look that is awesome.
The good news is, if you can piece it (and even foundation piece it) as a
square, you most certainly can piece it as a 60-degree diamond! I love to use the block in an overall quilt. It's really fun when someone asks, "How did you do that?" You don't have to answer them. <VBG> BarbV |

Little Rock This block was chosen randomly from the EQ Block Library (Traditional, Stars). I had never used this block before, so I set it in the Baby Blocks layout as a line drawing, not as a colored block. Then I could look for secondary designs to color. There are no curved seams in this quilt, though that isn't the way it looks! BarbV Illinois |
