Pickle Dish Part 2

1/31/2017

 
It is hard to believe that January is over.  I have been having a blast with a great group of students in my Introduction to Electric Quilt class.  I have two new online Electric Quilt classes that are starting in February.  If you would like to join the fun, there is more information on these classes later in the post.
Antique quilts are always inspiring.  I particularly loved the red, tan and whites in this Pickle Dish Variation quilt and think it would make a spectacular valentine quilt.  (Thanks to Rita for letting me share my version of her quilt with you.)

​A couple of weeks ago, I shared how to draft the block in this quilt.  If you missed it, please check out this post.

This week, I will share with you my thoughts on creating the setting in Electric Quilt.  I originally did this in custom set -- but then discovered a trick for using a standard horizontal setting.  

​Both are shared in this weeks video tutorial.

Good Morning Kari!
I just finished running through the full tutorial and thank you so much as always!
I created a star block to match the one formed when the 4 pickle dishes come together and colored it the same and added it to the squares formed in the sashing by using the 2nd option to create the quilt. It looks so nice!
Thank you for the review on serendipity and want to say thanks for the invitation to join the classes. I'm not ready to commit to it as yet. I just love these little tutorials. It keeps me going in EQ7 and EQStitch. I have such a full schedule that these little weekly tutorials are all I seem to find the time for at present. I SO appreciate them and look forward to them on Saturday mornings. I hope you keep running them. Thank you!!!!
