This week I will hosting my first webinar for shop owners and row by row designers. Read more below.
But first ... have you used the hexagonal layouts in Electric Quilts layout library. You can create fantastic quilts using one of these layouts with some very simple blocks.
Let me share with you how to go from two simple blocks designed with a 4 x 4 grid to a spectacular quilt in this weeks video tutorial.
Here are the blocks:
Here is the drafted quilt (sized at 55.5" x 48").
The video also includes the math for resizing these quilts to sizes conducive to using an equilateral triangle ruler. Here is a handout of the quilt math provided in the video.
Attention Row by Row Designers and Shop Owners
Have you designed your Row by Row quilt for 2017 yet? If you would like to design your own row, I have a webinar that can help.
In this webinar, I will share suggestions for selecting a "block theme", finding or drafting a compatible block, effective layouts, incorporating Row by Row fabric, plus share a few of my own project ideas to inspire your own row. The presentation will focus on using Electric Quilt 7 plus Microsoft Word to complete both the row and the instructions.
Date: Wednesday, May 17, 2017 3 pm (Central Daylight Time) Cost: $20 Bonus: You will also have an option of watching a replay of the session at any time in the future. Plus you will also receive a handout of the top 10 tips to create your row by row. Participation will be limited to 50 attendees. Register now to reserve your space.

I'm lost! Where is the equilateral triangle in the quilt? I get the math but see only diamonds in the quilt.

The diamond is two equilateral triangles stacked together. 5/19/2017 04:28:06 pm
Kari, Nice job. But I don't think I will be losing my job anytime soon. Not everyone is cut out to do the math!!

If one dimension is known - a fixed ratio of 13:15, of height (quilt length) to width can be used to figure new sizes, any Regular hexagon and any equilateral triangle works. From the same math, simplified. (For 60 degree diamond, double the "height" because it's two triangles... 26:15 ratio) Comments are closed.
