Slipping into September we’ve chosen “Oak Leaf & Acorn” for our featured block to give an autumnal feel. This is the default colouring from the EQ8 Block Library –
Of course, we can never resist changing things around so here are some of our choices. First increase the contrast by using a white/much lighter background
Keep the paler background and change the deep purple for lighter tan
Finally, switch the centre colour to a mid brown – and we’ve arrived at something that looks fairly naturalistic. One more option to explore with the background –
And now to find simple settings for some of these block variations –
Is this EQ7 doodles? Can we have EQ7 workshops on line???
I love your EQ doodles! I am only just starting on EQ and working through the instructions so am amazed at what can be produced – are you thinking of doing any on-line classes? PLEASE!!!!!!!!
I love the doodles.
Have a quilt wizard …lesser version of EQ but still fun to use. Good to see different colour effects. Keep doodling
Brilliant doodling! Love the snowflakes too!
So glad you’re still enjoying the doodles Ann!
For the uninitiated, that would be me, are there assembly instructions for the Rolling Star block?
Thanks!
sorry Lynda, no assembly instructions, just the templates and rotary cutting measurements. For the Rolling Star I would join the diamonds first into pairs, then into 4s and then join the 2 sets of 4 together. The diamonds and squares then go into place using Yseam technique or stitch and pivot. Will have discussions with the Technical Department about expanding into instructions for future Doodle selections. Barbar
Thank you, Barbara!
