Skewed Blocks

Experiments with EQ4


 

Please visit Patti Anderson's webpages for a great EQ4 Lesson on Skewing Blocks Into Diamonds that inspired these quilts. I was having fun playing with EQ4 but Patti showed me some new EQ4 tools I hadn't discovered yet and explained how to use them. 

After working through her instructions, I created the quilts shown here from blocks in the EQ4 and Sew Precise Libraries. The names of the blocks from the EQ4 library that were used for each of these are shown under each quilt. The Fabrics used in this Project are from the Designer Fabric Collection in the EQ4 Program ~ Fine China Blue Collection from Northcott/Monarch
