Quilterscache has a new block :)

I went and looked at the kitties and left!! Forgot all about the Bed of
Stars!! Finally went back. Don't ya just love EQ? Nice looking
arrangement of those stars!

Meanwhile I played with EQ to design a quilt that I had sketched out on
paper at the quilt shop. A woman at school last year had given me a panel
with 6 ladies. Each part of the panel is 15x22. They are black silhouettes
with cream background. So I just kept alternating between the coffee pot,
the Bed of Stars, and The Ladies!

Guess I'll have to upload my ladies to Webshots.

Now Kay, I really don't know if what I'm asking can be whipped out in 5
minutes or is a royal pain-in-the-neck. Would you show us the square
with
white stars on blue? Maybe I should just buy an EQ and leave you in
peace.
The easy way would be to get out my crayons and see for myself. I can
do
that and let you return to your regularly-scheduled day. Polly


Here's my attempts ....

And I made a quilt!!

Also in Quilts in Progress - Kiwi inspecting the latest baby quilt. It now
has the borders on, and I hope to get it sandwiched tomorrow, and photos
without Kiwi, hopefully! will follow soon.

there are designer fabrics with pop up name in EQ4.
i tried and it will change colours in those designer fabs too.
so i'd think imported fabs will also be able to change the colours on them.
will let ya know if it works, in a few minutes.

If I remember correctly, a lot of the "fabrics" in the earlier versions of
EQ were virtual fabrics, not scans of actual fabric. Just checked. IF you
look in EQ5, Fabric Library, you can see EQ4 and EQ3 fabrics. When you put
the cursor on them there is no "pop up" of the name of the fabric. So they
aren't "real" fabrics, but ones made up by the staff. Which is probably
why you can change the color of them.

havent played with EQ in ages so i'm possibly doing something wrong, who
knows.
i went to hoffmans fab site, saved a fabric in the right format to use in
eq.
imported it into the library.
got it into the palette.
it will go into the pop up window to 'add colourways' but
it doesnt show the fabric in the righthand box to make changes.
hmmmm. like i said, could be me or not.
i found in the past rather than all that messing about importing etc,
i'd just use a fabric already there and similar to the texture i wanted and
fiddle the colours with that one. usually was close enough to suffice.
i did have probs when importing to get the size of the testure on the
thumbnail
to work right in eq, oh well.
close enough there was good enough for me.
cheers,

Kay: Thanks, it is fun to see the variations. I like #4
best. Since that block is especially pretty when set
side by side, I would make half the blocks with red
center and blue corner pieces, half the blocks with
blue center and red corner. That would result in two
tone stars where the corners meet. Marcia's picture of
the full quilt design is on page two of that pattern.

Pat, you are welcome!! I enjoyed having an excuse to play in EQ this
morning.

And I learned a way to get fabrics from EQ5 to EQ6. I don't quite remember
how, but it will come back to me. I'll probably find some simpler way in
one of my 9 EQ books!!

I do love to play with color! It's my adult version of the 64 box of
crayons, which apparently has gotten up to 96 colors.

Close enough is usually good enough for me too. I just don't like dealing
with the solid colors -- they seem so stark! They do save space in the size
of the file if I want to email the project to someone though.

The only versions of EQ I have had are EQ5 and EQ6. And I'm still earning
them! And I'll probably still be learning them when another version comes
out! I just love tinkering with EQ.
