Additional Candy Corn Quilts EQ8 Tutorial

10/28/2023

 
Last week I shared my 3 blocks from one concept where I started with an initial candy corn block and then used the block to create the sashing and smaller individual candy corn blocks.  All with no additional drawing required.

If you missed the tutorial, you will want to go back and watch it here.

In last weeks tutorial, I also shared two quilts completed with an on point layout.  However one of the beauties of using Electric Quilt is the ability to play the "what if" game and create additional options.  Of course then the challenge is deciding which one you like best.

So this week, I did some additional playing.  This time using the Horizontal quilt layout in Electric Quilt 8.

  • Start with Candy Corn Overload Quilt #4
  • Select Bat block from the EQ8 library.
  • Change the block to a motif and resize the block to match the motif size.
  • Set the motif on Layer 3 of the quilt.
  • Flip some of the motifs.
  • Rotate and position along the border blocks.
A few of you also posted some modified quilts in the Learning EQ Facebook group.  It so fun to see different ideas using the same starting block.

Denise Gies played with just the 9" and 3" blocks to create one in QOV colors. I really like the way you can create a Halo around the stars!

Margo Reppert modified the borders on the on Point design from last week.

Dianna Carter -- I just had a sugar rush.
Check how I created my four additional quilts in this weeks video tutorial.  If you have been looking for an easy way to add quilting to your design, you will definitely want to watch how to convert blocks to quilting motifs.
I would love to see your "play time".  Feel free to share in the Learning EQ Facebook group.

Jane Perri This is from Advanced Easy Draw. It is a modification of the fractured block quilt.

Julie Pedersen This month, I took the Logs and Spirals class. This was our final project. I love mandalas.

Denise Mohler This is from lesson 11 Bargello. I learned how to create a border by drawing blocks and rotating the blocks to create different designs within the border.

Fran Heisey This month I had lots of fun with Masters class Logs and Swirls. My Pinterest feed kept showing me string art, mixed in with log cabin and swirl quilts. So I decided to try a string art inspired quilt. Converting string art into a quilt seems to be related to drawing swirl blocks. Here is one of my designs. I thought I would even try to make it - until I realized how itty bitty some of the star points are; even if I make the quilt 100" wide. So I simplified the center of the triangles,

Connie Bradley Bobcik I was doing the Working with PreCuts class in September. My favorite was the Butterflies and Blossoms Quilt. It was fun to create! I don't typically use a lot of precut fabric.

Edith Craig My class this month was Masters Logs and Swirls. I was really fascinated by the mandela quilts. I discovered that when I enlarged the block worktable to draft it, I ended up making the pieces way too small and when coloring it looked rather cluttered. For the month end challenge, I recreated the mandela swirl quilt, trying to keep the overall pattern a little cleaner and simpler. I have done this concept with paper and ink and it was fun to see how it would work with fabric.
