Last week I shared how to obtain the Accuquilt Die blocks (for free) from the EQ website.
This is a continuation on using Accuquilt dies in a quilt. If you missed the first part of this series, see how to create individual perfectly sized motifs that match those that are created with the Accuquilt dies here. In the tutorial today, see an option for creating a new quilt that features the entire collection of Fall Medley Motifs from Accuquilt.
The fabric collection I decided to use was Autumn. It was designed by Lori Holt for Riley Blake Designs and was released in April 2024.
In the video I cover how to download the collection from Riley Blake and import into your EQ8 project.
The video shares how to draft an oval block (complete with binding).
Oval Block with Binding Drawn as an Applique Motif in EQ8
Place the oval block on Layer 1 of a Custom set quilt -- sized at the same size as the oval block.
On layer 2 add the Accuquilt motifs and color with the Autumn fabric collection.. 
Oval Block with Accuquilt Dies on the Quilt Worktable
Make additional copies of the motifs. Rotate, position and layer the motifs on the quilt. Make sure to not change the size of these motifs.
If desired, recolor some of the veins to allow them to be visible on the fabric.

Share pictures of your design (or quilt) in the Learning EQ Facebook group. I've set up a dedicated post for your pictures.
Did you know that these Accuquilt shapes are charm friendly -- all can be cut out from 5" squares of fabric.
Select a favorite charm pack (or create one of your own from your fabric stash) to make your own Fall Medley Quilt -- just in time for Thanksgiving. I think this one could be considered a quilt in a day project. Electric Quilt 8 Made Easy - Black Friday Sale
