Drafting Lancaster Quilt with Electric Quilt 7

2/1/2014

 
Have you looked at photos of this antique quilt (circa 1840) or maybe been lucky enough to look at the actual quilt at the Lancaster Museum?

I think that the quilt is fascinating.  However in looking at the quilt, it seems like it would be quite a challenge to draft.

So I thought about how I could create a variation on this quilt in EQ.  This is the quilt I came up with. 
Designed by Kari Schell
Adaption of the Lancaster Diamond Quilt in Electric Quilt 7
If you would like to see how to do this in Electric Quilt 7, please take a look at the following video tutorial.

Ann Holte has written a book on the history of the actual Lancaster Diamond Sampler Quilt along with instructions on the blocks included in this historic quilt.  You can find out more about the quilt, her book and these fabulous blocks on her website www.annholtequilting.com.

I'm still in the "dreaming stage". Although this shouldn't take any longer than two rows of the Dear Jane quilt.

Thank you for the feedback. I will see what I can do with the volume on the next video. I was probably too concerned that I would have it too loud; which can also be irritating. :)

Very well done! I picked up tips I had read but forgotten from the EQ manual. Makes it easier to remember when you see it demonstrated.

I signed up for your newsletter and was taken to the page with the picture of the leaf pattern. However I did not see any link to click on in order to download the pattern.

I am sorry you had a problem. In the thank you for subscribing page, you need to click on the work "link" to get to the pattern. The green used for the links is very close in value to the font for the rest of the paragraph -- which may be why you missed it. I sent you a e-mail with the link to the thank you page again.

Please let me know if you are still having any difficulty getting the pattern..
