I have entered my Stars and Stripes Allover quilt in this weekends Quilting Gallery Vote now for Patriotic Quilts competition.  Please go to the link and view all the beautiful quilts and vote!!  You have to scroll down the page a little ways to see the quilts and then vote at the bottom.

My quilt is inspired by a quilt called Stars Galore by Sally Murray which is published in the Quilts on American Barns book by Eleanor Burns. It is a 4 x 4 quilt and has 2 different blocks. It also has a ribbon border. This was the first quilt I designed using EQ7.

My first EQ 7 Quilt!! Stars and Stripes Allover

I spent about 4 hours this morning creating my first quilt with EQ 7.  I have had another quilt design software for about 4 years and decided that I should try EQ 7.  I only had to contact tech support one time!!

I have purchased fabric, now the question will be when to add it to the every growing list of projects!!!

Eleanor Burns Quilts on American Barns Block 1

Just finished watching Eleanor put together the 18 inch Center Barn Block  http://quiltinaday.com/theater/block/block01.html  It went together pretty easy.

I will be seeing her sister Patricia Knoechel June 4th at the Ashtabula Nazarene Church and that will be my chance to purchase the book and necessary templates and accessories.

This quilt will be an opportunity to use up stash and scraps.  I'm planning to do the wall hanging size which has 6 inch blocks in it.
