For example, you might only want two rounds for a wall hanging size quilt (use a 3 x 3 block set of this same on point layout). Add or subtract rounds for different size quilts. That’s it! Try other similar blocks for a different look. Working out from the center and in “rounds” add the remaining blocks and rotate them as before. Switch to the Rotate tool and rotate them so all the sawtooth edges are facing outward.Ĥ. Switch back to Layer 1 and begin by setting your new block in the four spaces in the center of the quilt. On the Layout tab select the on point style on the right, change number of blocks to 4 x 4 and the block size to 8.00″.ģ. But my favorite part is that this new book is larger (8 1/2 x 11) and it now has a spiral binding. It’s the same exercises as my previous book, but the images, text, etc. It’s not a hard block to draw! Color your block and add it to the Sketchbook.Ģ. Electric Quilt Company has reformatted and updated my EQ6 Pieced Drawing book for EQ7 It’s now called, EQ with Me: Pieced Drawing. The small half-square triangles on the left and top are two inches. It looks similar, but the on point mitered square goes all the way to the block edge, and the triangles don’t have the overlapping look like in my aunt’s quilt.īegin with a new EasyDraw block with the block size at 8.00″ x 8.00″, snaps a t 32 x 32 and graph paper divisions at 8 x 8. I did find one called “Noon and Light” in Yvonne Khin’s book (block #419). One commenter suggested a name, “Noon and Night.” I cannot find that block in the block references I have on hand (see above). If you’ve seen it in other quilting books or magazines, let me know. So I thought I would appeal to my cyber friends and see if anyone knows a name/source for this block.
It states on page 72 that they could not find the block in any of their pattern source books. In their book they dubbed this block, “Original Star” (not a very original name - ha!). The only other place I have seen this block is in the book, American Country Scrap Quilts by Liz Porter and Marianne Fons. Perhaps I overlooked it, but I don’t think I did. I have looked through Electric Quilt’s BlockBase (computer version of Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns), Yvonne Khin’s book, The Collector’s Book of Quilt Names and Patterns, Carrie Hall’s book, The Romance of the Patchwork Quilt and cannot find any block that is remotely similar. TIP for EQ users: In EasyDraw, I set the snap points to 20 x 20. Print patterns and yardage charts, learn to make quilt labels, design traditional and modern quilts, and have fun along the way Softcover, 128 pages.
Lessons are easy to follow and cover all the basics of the software. The finished size of the block is 10″ x 10″. The step-by-step lessons guide the reader through the basic tasks of drawing blocks, importing fabric scans and designing quilts.
This is what started my searching for the name of the block. The top photo is a colorful scrappy quilt made by my aunt.
