Harvest Elegance Panel Quilt

8/21/2021

 

Back to School with EQ8

The end of summer is a great time to get back into quilting.  If you are ready to get started (or maybe it is restarted) with using EQ8, make sure you are on the Tech Know Quilters wait list.

We will be opening a few spots in Tech Know Quilters next week.  Enrollment is open only for a short time, And once those spots are gone… they’re gone.

Harvest Elegance Panel Quilt Tutorial

The inspiration for the quilt in this blog post was a panel designed by Quilting Treasures.  I couldn't locate an image of the panel on their website, but fortunately there were lots of sites still showing the panel for sale.
When I went to download the image from one of the sites, I found I was not able to save the image in a format compatible with EQ.  So in the video I share my process for turning the image into one that is compatible with EQ8.   This will work both for those on a PC and on a MAC.

After sizing, cropping and positioning the panel in a quilt, I decided the quilt called for a pieced border.  But I didn't want to overwhelm the panel with too much piecing in the border.  So I elected to include only 10 3 inch leaf blocks and fill the remaining space with spacer borders.  
This leaf block is one of my go to blocks for any fall quilt.  It is so versatile and is easy to construct using a variety of construction techniques.
Do you have a panel that you are ready to turn into a quilt?  Share you panel (and if you have come up with a quilt idea) in the Learning EQ Facebook Group.

​Happy quilting.

I watched your video about creating a panel quilt titled Harvest Elegance Panel Quilt EQ8 Tutorial.
The video was great and really helped me be able to create the pattern.
The one issue I had was when printing the rotary cutting instructions for the leaf block it didn’t print the instructions for the stem. I see in the EQ 8 app it states “EQ does not give results for all shapes so some patches may be missing”.
How am I supposed to know how to make that shape?

If you are following EQs cutting instructions, you would print a template for that patch. I personally like a different approach in which I would cut a square (equal to the size of the stem plus the half square triangles plus 1/2 inch). Then I would cut squares for the half square triangles and attach them using the folded corner method. Check out this blog post for more information on this construction technique. https://www.onpointquilter.com/blog/folded-corner-cutting-charts-for-eq-blocks
