How to Draw a Hexagon Self Portrait using EQ8

9/12/2020

 

Hexi Self Portrait Tutorial

Many of you signed up for the Easygoing Hexagon Challenge and are learning how to create hexagon blocks in EasyDraw and then convert them to applique.  This will make them much more quilt friendly when designing and auditioning fabrics for a hexagon quilt.  You can see some great designs from the the first fiew days of the challenge below.

Since I am still super focused on hexagons, I thought I would share a more whimsical EQ design.  For my Easygoing Hexagon promotions, I created a hexagon portrait to include on variation banners and promotional material.  I thought that it might be fun if we all did our own hexagon self portrait.  See how easy they are to do in this weeks free video tutorial.
Here is Hexi Kari -- straight from the video.

TKQ Masters Stained Glass Challenge
