Falling Leaves Quilt

Register for Free Live EQ8 Webinar on September 25 or 26

​​Transparency quilts are those special quilts where the quilter places blocks of color within the quilt, creating an illusion of overlaying colors. 

These are often the quilts that stop us in our tracks and leave us mesmerized and wanting to continue to look at them.

But when it comes to creating our own, I have found many people feel a little overwhelmed and unsure how to work out the overlay along with the right color combinations.
​
Which is why I'm going to show you how.

Join my free Electric Quilt 8 webinar where I will take you step by step through the entire process to create your own transparency quilt.  In this live webinar, you will learn how to:  

• ​draft a basic pieced block using EasyDraw tools and setting it into a Standard Layout.
• choose from two different methods (one low-tech and another high-tech) to add the magic of transparency to the quilt.
• convert your transparency quilt design into easy to piece blocks (only squares, rectangles, half square and quarter square triangle blocks).
• color your transparency blocks using a super easy trick.
• add your design into optional borders for your quilt.

What are you waiting for? Enroll today.

Plus you will also receive a guidebook that you will be able to use as a reference both during and after the video.  This will assist you when you're working on your project.
 
I can't wait to see your transparency quilt design.

​For all those that attend live, I will be offering a special bonus offer as well.  Make sure to join me.  I can't wait to see you there.

A replay will be available for 24 hours if you cannot attend live.​

Falling Leaves Quilt

​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 setting the leaves from these dies in a quilt.

Here is the quilt from the video.  Do you have some fun fall fabrics to make this quilt?

Kari's Falling Leaves Quilt using Accuquilt Dies

Here are a few quilts designed by EQ users and shared on social media this week.

Mary Groesbeck Wall Hanging

Elizabeth Barnett (this table topper was done with adjusted sizes)

Margo Reppert Personal Accuquilt design from the Tech Know Quilters Specialty Rulers and Dies class.

Tech Know Quilters Showcase

Tech Know Quilter members shared some of their favorite projects (along with their own designs) from their July class.  You can learn more and sign up for the wait list to join this amazing group of designers here.

Nanne Panne This quilt we made this month is really great! I have learned so much as usual!!! Love the flying geese!!!!

Lee Wiencki I was trying Arabic geometric pattern designing as a block in EQ8.

Shawn Spjut While we learned a lot of cool stuff in polydraw, these blocks are my favorite.

Lynne Maramieri My class this month was Advanced EasyDraw. This quilt is a favourite.

Rhonda Goss Masters table topper class

Dotty Smalley Here is my Table Runner from the TKQ Masters Table Runners class. As always, I learned a lot in this class, including how to use "cheater" strips and blocks to achieve the look of a table runner with pointed ends. I also added binding "cheater" blocks. These are mostly Kaffe Fassett fabrics.

Linda Carlson I took the Masters Table Runner class. Here is one of the several we designed.

Loronda Schuler I just had fun creating my alphabet using things I learned in the free tutorial but also from other tutorials from Kari as I had to create some additional blocks to make some of the letters. I also added an exclamation and question mark to my alphabet □

Frauke Frieboes Here is my favourite quilt. It was created after lesson 13 (Easy Draw; Serendipity). This lesson taught me how to play, because in the meantime I feel confident to deal with the functions of the program and get more freedom to try and repeat things. That's the most important thing to me. To be able to repeat it and not to come to a nice result by chance. I think the Merge Block function was the decisive trigger for me to see how much the program offers me when I use it. Thank you for the wonderful explanations in simple language dear Kari!

Zdenka Nemethová In July I enjoyed Quilt Layouts Class. Baby quilt layout was my favourite

Zdenka Nemethová One Patch Layout was also fun. Thanks Kari for these great lessons

Brigitte Lee I took the Master's Tablerunner and TKQ Advanced Easy Draw. Here is the result of several classes combined.

Nancy Kiley I participated in TKQ Mix and Match Medallions Borders in July. Here's my favorite quilt that I made with a little playtime I had in July (I was working on finishing my state fair quilt entry). I enjoyed designing this quilt after Lesson 6 Frame Illusions. The best part of the borders class is expanding my creativity from quilt centers to the borders.

Marijke Nieuwenhuijsen This is my quilt for the month July. It was nice to place the embellishment in EQ8.

Helen Bagnall Month One, Fabric Collections - This first month helped me overcome my inertia caused by not knowing how to move around EQ8 and what to do to start a design. Thank you.

Julie Pedersen I took the Masters table runner class. Here is my creation.

Curryanne Hostetler here was my finish of Table Runners. And favorite play.

Fran Heisey This month I took the Master Table Runner class.

Debbi Treusch The table runner class got me motivated to finish a wall calendar of the month series where I lost the June, July and August patterns. I did just the June pattern for this challenge. June in Iowa is strawberry season, so the design is centered around a theme of strawberries. Strawberry smoothie block, strawberry applique and strawberry fields fabric collection.

Happy quilting.
