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. -- Kay Ahr in NV http://community.webshots.com/user/kayahr to respond to me directly, remove "WESTHI" from the email address "Sally Swindells" wrote in message ...

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 .... http://community.webshots.com/user/SewSewCreative "Kay Ahr" wroteI played.

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. -- Sally at the Seaside~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~uk http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin |

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. jeanne "Pati C." wrote... 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.

Tried it in EQ5 and EQ6, but couldn't get that option when I right-clicked on a quilt or on a block. I do have some EQ3 and EQ4 fabric palettes. Were those actual fabrics in EQ3 and EQ4? |

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, jeanne "nzlstar*" wrote... 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. jeanne "Pati C." wrote...

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. http://www.quilterscache.com/B/Bedof...ock_Page2.html PAT in VA/USA Kay Ahr wrote: I played.

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. -- Kay Ahr in NV http://community.webshots.com/user/kayahr to respond to me directly, remove "WESTHI" from the email address "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message ...

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. -- Kay Ahr in NV http://community.webshots.com/user/kayahr to respond to me directly, remove "WESTHI" from the email address "nzlstar*" wrote in message ... 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. close enough there was good enough for me. cheers, jeanne |
