Dreaming

I have other things I should be posting about, but as I sat down to catch up during toddler nap time,I suddenly recalled waking up this morning - I have often read of people, quilters, etc, keeping a notebook by their beds to jot down sleepy time ideas. Never done it, it would involve scrabbling about for specs, finding a pen, knocking something off my table and generally causing mayhem.
But this morning I woke up quite suddenly and was acutely aware of a quilt block in my head, maybe I have seen it somewhere but I decided just now, to have a play on EQ7 and see what might become of it.

So here is Dream Block - 4 Drunkard's Path blocks intersected by narrow sashing and a middle tiny patch.


Wonder what it would look like multiplied into a quilt?


And then I wondered about putting more sashing in, between the blocks..........


and then, maybe switching round some colours and ditching the border,


I could probably waste hours at this, switching colours & values - that's the beauty of EQ7, sometimes you don't ever need to actually  make a quilt.

  5. Oooh I love that block and I especially like the colours you chose in the first pic.
    Now that EQ7 is available for Mac I've been contemplating buying it. Do you really think it is worth getting?
