Playing with EQ

November 18, 2009

Since I don’t have my stash and all my sewing stuff with me I’ve been playing with EQ.  I did bring one project and I added one border but it’s just too hard to sew when I’m not at home with my own cutting table, and my own tools.  I did finish a pair of socks but mostly yesterday and today, I’ve been playing.

Yesterday I was feeling rebellious I suppose.  I wanted quilts that weren’t like what I usually make . . something “liberated”.  I just might make these quilts too  . . if ever I feel a bit radical again.  :)

I do like this one and it’s so easy but . . is it too plain?  I don’t know . .

This one interests me too.

This one is beginning to look more normal.  The old “me” must have re-appeared.

I like your stars. Their sort of funky. I played with EQ last night also. Check out my pattern. It’s on the blog. Good trip home.

I like the first quilt. It may be simple, but I like the way vertical rectangles look like they could tip over and knock each other down. Kind of like when you line up dominoes to knock them down.

I definitely wouldn’t mind having the directions for that one. I also love the star quilt.

I like the first one. It’s kind of wonky. I like wonky.

I actually love the 1st one. Reminds me of Gee’s Bend quilts.

I like that first one too. Simple & kind of wonky. The last one is my favorite though. More traditional yet a little wonky. Guess I’m just not feeling as rebellious as you!! LOL

THe star is my favorite too – I have a liberated star quilt in my list of quilts to make one day and I like how you added the half square triangles to your version!

Love the “old me” quilt… can we have it as a hour a day?

Oooh, love them all. I like KatieQ’s description of #1 – quivering dominoes. #2 – the colors and pattern kind of look like tropical/African rain. And #3 – definitely one of your quilts. Another quilt for an hour for your admiring fans? Yes?

The first two are just fabulous, you must make those!

That middle one kind of reminds me of a 16 patch (or 25 patch) quilt.

I like the starry one best. Do you easy-patch draw all the blocks on these 3 quilts?

Sandy said the first one reminds her of a Gee’s Bend quilt. I feel the same way and it’s for this reason I’m not keen on it. I love the third one – such a hip teenager style. The border on the second one is great; liberated yet stylish (not folk arty).
