Celebrate 250 Stars and Stripes Quilt Tutorial with EQ8 - Patriotic Quilt Design in Electric Quilt 8

6/13/2026

Inspirational Stars and Stripes Quilt

While browsing Pinterest recently, I came across a striking patriotic quilt that immediately caught my attention. I especially loved the way the stripes flowed through the design.

After a bit of detective work, I traced a similar quilt to a design by Jean Nolte, editor of Fons & Porter. Google suggests the pattern appeared in the May/June 2016 issue of Love of Quilting. Unfortunately, that issue happens to be missing from my collection, so I haven't been able to verify the original source firsthand.

Rather than recreating the quilt exactly, I decided to use the concept as inspiration and design my own version. My adaptation replaces the appliqué star with an easy-to-piece eight-pointed Variable Star block, creating a quilt that celebrates America's 250th anniversary while remaining accessible to piecers.

Drafting the Stars and Stripe Block

8" Stripe Block

Begin in EasyDraw by creating a new block sized 8" x 8".

Draw a diagonal line from the lower-left corner to the upper-right corner.
In the upper-left corner, draw horizontal and vertical lines at the 4" mark, creating a 4" square.
Add 1" finished stripes in three different directions—horizontal, vertical, and diagonal.

The diagonal stripes may look intimidating, but in the video I share a simple no-math method for spacing them perfectly one inch apart.

Next, select your favorite star block and choose Serendipity > Merge Block to combine it with the striped block.

For my sample, I used an eight-pointed Variable Star, but this technique works beautifully with virtually any star block. Experiment with different star styles and see how they change the overall appearance of the quilt.

Four Quilt Layout Possibilities

One of the fun aspects of this design is seeing how dramatically the quilt changes with different layouts and block rotations.

In the video, we'll create four unique quilt variations:

Quilt 1 Horizontal 3 x 3 layout
Quilt 2 On-point 3 x 3 layout
Quilt 3 On-point 2 x 2 layout using different block rotations
Quilt 4 On-point 2 x 2 layout with striped setting triangles

Quilt 1 - 3 x 3 Layout

Quilt 2 - 3 x 3 On-Point Layout

Quilt 3 - 2 x 2 On-Point Layout with rotated blocks

Quilt 4 2 x 2 On-Point Layout with Striped Setting Triangles

Celebrate 250 Stars and Stripes Video Tutorial

Watch the video below for complete step-by-step instructions on drafting the block, creating the quilt layouts, and exploring additional design options.

Construction Suggestions

Although EQ provides rotary-cutting instructions, this design is especially well-suited for strip piecing. Using strip sets will save considerable cutting time and help maintain consistency throughout the quilt.

Diagonal Stripe Strip Set
(Lower Right Corner Section)

Step 1: Create a strip set alternating four background strips with three red strips. The strip set should measure approximately 7-1/2" x 40".

Step 2: Measure 12-1/2" along the bottom edge and mark with a pencil.

Step 3: Using the 45-degree line on your ruler, cut a diagonal edge beginning at the marked point.

Step 4: Cut a second diagonal edge beginning at the lower-left corner.

Step 5: Measure 12-1/2" along the top edge and mark.

Step 6: Cut another diagonal edge beginning at the marked point.

Repeat across the strip set to create the required units.

Cutting Diagram for Diagonal Stripe Strip Set

Small Triangle Strip Set
(Right and Bottom Edges of the Pieced Star)

Step 1: Create a strip set alternating three background strips with two red strips. The finished strip set should measure approximately 5-1/2" x 40".

Step 2: Cut the strip set into 4-7/8" sections.

Step 3: For the first section, cut diagonally from the lower-right corner using the 45-degree line on your ruler.

Step 4: Cut diagonally again from the upper-left corner of the same section.

Step 5: For the second section, cut diagonally from the lower-left corner.

Step 6: Cut diagonally from the upper-right corner.

Continue alternating cuts throughout the strip set to create mirror-image triangle units for piecing the block.

Your Turn

Now it's your turn to experiment with the design.

Which quilt layout do you prefer?
Would you choose a different star block for the 4" square?
What happens if you enlarge the block from 8" finished to 16" finished (using 2-1/2" strips instead of 1-1/2" strips for piecing)?

One design concept can lead to countless quilt possibilities, and I'd love to see where your creativity takes you.

I've created a discussion post in the Learning EQ Facebook Group where you can share your favorite version and connect with other quilters exploring the design.

Upsy Daisy Quilt: A New EQ8 Tutorial Inspired by an AI Quilt Design

6/6/2026

2 Comments

June 8 is National Upsy Daisy Day, a lighthearted holiday that encourages us to greet the day with enthusiasm, gratitude, and optimism. Founded in 2003 by Stephanie West Allen, the celebration is all about bouncing out of bed with a smile and embracing life's adventures.

To celebrate this cheerful occasion, I designed a new EQ8 project featuring oversized daisies and colorful pieced bars. The quilt combines simple piecing with applique and is a great opportunity to practice both drafting and quilt design skills in Electric Quilt 8.

Finding Inspiration for the Upsy Daisy Quilt

The inspiration for this quilt came from an AI-generated image that appeared in my Facebook feed. Lately I've been exploring how artificial intelligence can be used as a source of creative inspiration for quilt design.

One interesting aspect of AI-generated images is that they generally are not eligible for copyright protection because they are not created solely by human authorship. That makes them excellent practice material for learning drafting techniques in EQ8.

However, there is an important distinction. While the AI image itself may not be copyrighted, the quilt pattern you create from that image can be. Likewise, tutorials, videos, and instructions showing how to draft a design based on an AI image can also be protected by copyright.

In other words, several quilters could begin with the same AI-generated image and each create a unique, copyrightable pattern. What cannot be copied is another designer's finished pattern or instructions.

Drafting the Pieced Block in EQ8

Begin by creating the pieced block in EasyDraw.

Set the block size to 6" x 30".
Set the snaps to 6 x 15.
Under Snapping Options, select Snap to Grid only.
Draw a horizontal line at 20".
Use the Grid tool to place:
- A 1 x 10 grid in the upper section.
- A 1 x 5 grid in the lower section.
Add random vertical lines within the bars at either 2" or 4" intervals. Leave some bars unpieced for variety.

The goal is to create a casual, modern arrangement rather than a perfectly balanced design.

Color the block and add it to your Sketchbook.

Draw tab in EasyDraw with Pieced Block

6" x 30" Pieced Block

Creating the Daisy Motif

Next, create the flower as an Applique Motif.

Set the block size to 8" x 12".
Choose Snap to Node and Auto-Join Segments When Drawing.

Using the Petal shape:

Drag a petal onto the worktable.
Use the Edit tool to adjust the petal curves.
Select the petal and open Wreathmaker.
Set the number of clusters to 12.
Adjust the spacing and size until the petals overlap slightly.

Wreathmaker Daisy

To create the stem and leaves:

Select the Bezier Curve tool.
Draw the stem and one leaf.
Refine the shapes using the Edit tool.
Clone and flip the leaf to create the second leaf.
Resize, rotate, and position the leaves as desired.

Convert the stem to a patch using Brush Stroke. Adjust the Minimum Width and Boldness settings until the stem has the appearance you want.

Color the motif and save it to your Sketchbook.

Assembling the Quilt Layout

With both blocks complete, it's time to create the quilt.

Start a new quilt using a Custom Set layout.
On the Layout tab, set the center size to 14" x 30".
On the Borders tab, choose Mitered Borders and set the border size to 0.5".
On Layer 1:
- Place the pieced block on the left side.
- Add a plain block on the right and resize it to fill the remaining space.
Switch to Layer 2 and add three copies of the daisy motif.
Turn on Preserve Aspect Ratio and reduce the width to 7".
Use the Adjust tool to rotate and overlap the flowers for a more natural arrangement.

Save the completed quilt.

Watch the Video Tutorial

I've created a step-by-step video showing the entire drafting process in EQ8. Follow along as we build the pieced block, create the daisy motif, and assemble the finished quilt layout.

Construction Tips

Pieced Block

Print the rotary cutting chart for the pieced block and cut the pieces according to the chart.

Sew the individual bars first, then join the bars together to complete the block. The unfinished block should measure 6-1/2" x 30-1/2".

Rotary Cutting Chart

Daisy Applique

Print the block pattern and templates from EQ8.

If you plan to use fusible applique, print the templates without seam allowances. Cut the pieces and use the printed block image as a placement guide.

Secure the applique using your preferred stitch. My personal favorite is a blind hem stitch with both the width and length set to 1.0.

Make It Your Own

One of the joys of quilt design is personalizing a project to fit your style. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Swap Out the Pieced Block

Replace the 6" x 30" pieced block with five 6" square blocks. Use a favorite block repeated five times, or create a sampler with five different blocks.

Experiment with New Flowers

The daisy is just the beginning. Explore Posy Maker and other applique tools to create entirely different floral motifs. Be warned—Posy Maker can become wonderfully addictive!

Ribbon Quilt in EQ8 Personalized with Serendipity

5/30/2026

0 Comments

One of my favorite quilt layouts starts with just two simple blocks. The design itself is easy to create, but the possibilities are almost endless.

The real magic happens when you combine the layout with the Serendipity tools in Electric Quilt 8. By inserting different blocks into one of the layout blocks, you can create unique quilt designs that showcase a favorite fabric collection—or finally put those treasured fabrics you've been saving for years to good use.

Drafting the Blocks

This quilt uses two simple blocks:

A Square-in-a-Square block
A Sashing block with two diagonal lines

Both can be drafted quickly using the EasyDraw toolkit in EQ8.

One question I hear frequently is, "Where can I find that block in the Library?" For simple designs like these, I often find it faster to draft the block from scratch rather than spend time searching through the Library. Save the Library for more complex blocks and specialty designs.

For coloring, I chose to use solid colors rather than fabrics. Since I knew I would be experimenting with multiple fabric collections later, I didn't want to become attached to a particular color scheme too early in the design process.

To create the ribbon effect in the finished quilt, I made two different color versions of the sashing block.

12" x 12" Square in a Square Drafted in EQ

6" x 12" Sashing Coloring 1 Drafted in EQ

6" x 12" Sashing Coloring 2 Drafted in EQ

Creating the Ribbon Quilt Layout

Move to the Quilt Worktable and create a new Horizontal Quilt.

On the Layout tab:

Set the desired number of blocks horizontally and vertically.
Set the block size to 12" x 12".

I selected a 12-inch finished block because it works perfectly with the Large Square Squared ruler from Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design, making construction much easier later.

For the sashing:

Set the sashing width to 6 inches.
Include sash borders around the quilt.

Using sash borders creates a finished edge that eliminates the need for an additional border, although you can certainly add one if desired.

On the Design tab, place the blocks into the layout. Don't forget to rotate the sashing blocks used in the horizontal border sections.

Once the layout is complete, add it to your Sketchbook so you can easily return to it later.

Ribbon Quilt - Greyscale Option

Adding Interest with Serendipity

EQ8 offers several Serendipity options, but for this project we'll focus on Merge Block.

After selecting Merge Block:

Scroll to the bottom of the block list on the left and select the Square-in-a-Square block.
On the right side, choose the default Variable Star block.
Select Add to Sketchbook.

The resulting block combines elements from both designs, creating an entirely new block while preserving the framework needed for the quilt layout.

Continue experimenting by selecting additional blocks from the EQ Library and merging them with the Square-in-a-Square block. Every combination creates a fresh design opportunity.

Ribbon Merged Block 1

Ribbon Merged Block 2

Ribbon Merged Block 3

Updating the Quilt Design

Return to the Quilt Worktable and select:

Block Tools > Set Block

Scroll to the end of the block list to find your newly created merged blocks.

Hold down the Control key (Windows) or Command key (Mac) and click on one of the Square-in-a-Square blocks in the quilt. Replace it with one of the merged blocks from your Sketchbook.

To quickly explore fabric options, use the Swap Fabrics tool under Coloring Tools.

For my sample quilts, I used the following fabric collections:

The same layout takes on a completely different personality depending on the fabrics you choose.

Ribbon Quilt Option 2

Ribbon Quilt Option 3

Ribbon Quilt Option 4

Ribbon Quilt Option 5

Ribbon Quilt Video Tutorial

Watch the full video for a complete walkthrough of drafting the blocks, building the layout, creating Serendipity variations, and recoloring the quilt in Electric Quilt 8.

Piecing the Center Block

For the center block, I plan to use Deb Tucker's Large Square Squared ruler.

One advantage of this method is that the center section can be pieced slightly oversized and then trimmed precisely to size.

For the corner triangles:

Cut 7¼" x 7¼" squares.
Cut each square once diagonally.

These triangles are intentionally oversized and will differ from the cutting instructions generated by EQ8.

Mock Up with Changes for Using Deb Tucker's Square Squared Tool

After assembling the block, use the Square Squared ruler to trim the center unit to approximately 9" x 9" if needed.

Then use the ruler again to align the seam intersections and trim the completed block to an accurate 12½" x 12½" unfinished size.

This extra trimming step helps ensure precise points and accurate block sizing.

Use the Square Squared Ruler (Part A) to Trim the Pieced On Point Square

Use the Square Squared Ruler (Part B) to Trim the Final Block to 12-1/2" x 12-1/2".

What Will You Design?

This is one of those quilt concepts that can quickly become addictive. Once you start experimenting with different merged blocks and fabric collections, it's hard to stop at just one version.

I'd love to see what you create.

New Quilt Layout for Fabric Panels and Six-Inch Blocks

5/23/2026

2 Comments

One of the people I enjoy following on Facebook is Julie Silber Quilts. Julie specializes in collecting and reselling antique quilts, and she recently shared a fascinating 19th-century “Calendar” quilt made from cheater cloth.

As soon as I saw the quilt, I found myself studying the layout and thinking about how it could be recreated in Electric Quilt 8. The more I analyzed it, the more intrigued I became. The original quilt appears to include a number of inset seams, since both the calendar blocks and most of the on-point squares were created from single pieces of fabric.

Then came the exciting realization — this antique layout would work beautifully for modern fabric panels featuring multiple same-sized images. It’s very similar to the concept of cheater cloth, but with endless creative possibilities. The layout could also showcase collections of pieced blocks, making it a wonderfully versatile quilt design.

Calendar Quilt Collected by Julie Silber

Selecting a Fabric Panel

While searching for the perfect project inspiration, I discovered the American Tapestry Quilt Blocks Panel by QT Fabrics on Etsy. Designed by Dan Morris, this patriotic panel celebrates classic red, white, and blue Americana style.

The 44" x 36" panel contains 24 unique six-inch blocks with enough spacing between the motifs to allow for seam allowances. It immediately reminded me of the antique Calendar quilt layout, and I knew it would be the perfect choice for recreating the design in EQ8.

Download the American Tapestry panel image and save it to your computer. I recommend placing it in your My EQ8 > Images folder so it will be easy to locate later.

American Tapestry Quilt Blocks Panel from QT Fabrics

Since the panel will not be used as a single fabric image in the quilt, there’s no need to cut it into 24 separate files. Instead, resize the image to match the physical dimensions of the panel and save it as a fabric within your EQ8 project.

Drafting the Sashing Block

The original quilt contains one pieced element used in the sashing. Unlike a standard square or rectangle, this unusual block has six edges with triangular cutouts on two sides.

To draft this shape in EQ8, I recommend using the PolyDraw toolkit. PolyDraw is ideal because it allows you to create patches instead of simply drawing lines and arcs. Even better, it lets portions of the block remain blank — exactly what’s needed for this design.

4" x 6" Sashing Block

Creating the Quilt Layout

On the Quilt Worktable, begin a new quilt using a horizontal layout. Set the block size to 6" x 6", which matches the finished size of each printed block in the panel.

Set the sashing width to 4" and include a sashed border.

Place the PolyDraw sashing block in all sashing spaces.

For the six-inch blocks, color the blocks with the American Tapestry fabric. Then use the fussy-cut feature to highlight a different section of the panel within each block.

American Tapestry Quilt Layer 1

Adding the On-Point Squares

To fill the remaining spaces in the quilt, create three additional PolyDraw blocks:

On-Point Square
Modified On-Point Square for quilt edges
Modified On-Point Square for quilt corners

By drafting these shapes in PolyDraw and placing them on Layer 2, you can take full advantage of EQ8’s Snap to Grid feature. This makes positioning and aligning the blocks incredibly easy.

PolyDraw On Point Square

PolyDraw On Point Square with One Corner Removed

PolyDraw On Point Square with Two Corners Removed

Tip:
If the modified on-point square does not display correctly on the Color tab, try adding an extra patch temporarily. Once the shape appears correctly, delete the added patch.

Finishing the Quilt

After all the blocks are in place, experiment with color placement and fabric combinations. Although not shown in the video, I also created a second version of the quilt using coordinating American Tapestry fabrics from QT Fabrics.

You can download individual fabric swatches directly from their website.

American Tapestry Panel Quilt - Coloration 2

Be sure to watch the full video for step-by-step instructions on drafting and assembling this quilt layout in EQ8.

Eliminating Inset Seams

If you want the on-point squares to remain single pieces of fabric, the quilt will require inset seams. Since inset seams can feel intimidating, I wanted to share an alternative construction method that avoids them completely.

Begin by selecting Layer 2 and deleting all the Layer 2 blocks.

Next, return to the Block Worktable and modify the sashing block by adding triangles to the top and bottom edges. Back on the Quilt Worktable, use the Set Block tool to replace the original sashing block with the modified version.

Finally, color the cornerstones and added triangles to coordinate with the adjacent cornerstone.

This method introduces additional seams, but it completely eliminates inset seams and may make construction much more approachable for many quilters.

Optional Sashing Block for Design without Inset Seams

Potato Chip Quilt Layout Tutorial in EQ8

5/16/2026

A potato chip quilt is one of those projects that quickly becomes addictive — once you start sewing, it’s hard to stop at just one. This beginner-friendly quilt pattern is perfect for using up scraps, precuts, or jelly rolls, and it relies on a single patch size throughout the design: typically 2-1/2" x 4-1/2".

While many potato chip quilts are assembled into traditional blocks, you can also create a striking quilt layout without pieced blocks at all. In this week’s tutorial, I’ll show you how to design a dynamic potato chip quilt in EQ8 using only 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles.

Choosing Fabrics

For this project, I selected the Montgomery Mountain Charm collection by Belle of Seams for Benartex.

Inspired by the scenic beauty of the Ouachita Mountains and National Forest, this 25-piece collection features woodland animals, wildflowers, quartz textures, forest trails, woven prints, and nostalgic mountain-inspired motifs.

The collection is available in the 2026 Stash 1 download from the Electric Quilt Company, or you can download individual swatches directly from the Benartex website.

This fabric line works especially well for a potato chip quilt because it includes a balanced mix of light and dark fabrics, helping create strong contrast and movement throughout the layout.

Montgomery Mountain Charm Fabric Collection from Benartex

Drafting the Quilt in EQ8

Open EQ8 and begin on the Quilt Worktable.

Select New Quilt > Horizontal Quilt
Set the layout to:
- 2 blocks horizontal
- 2 blocks vertical
- Block size: 2" x 4"

Next, move to the Borders tab. Each border in this design uses the Blocks border style.

Border Setup

Border 1
- Add to the Top and Bottom
- Width: 2"
- Blocks in border: 1
Border 2
- Add to the Left and Right
- Width: 2"
- Blocks in border: 2
Border 3
- Add to the Top and Bottom
- Width: 2"
- Blocks in border: 2
Border 4
- Add to the Left and Right
- Width: 2"
- Blocks in border: 3

Continue alternating between top/bottom and left/right borders, increasing the number of blocks with each round. This keeps the patch proportions consistent at either 2" x 4" or 4" x 2".

To finish the quilt, you can optionally add:

A long horizontal border
A binding border

Quilt Center with added Borders for a 45" x 45" Potato Chip quilt

Coloring the Quilt

One of the easiest ways to create visual impact in this design is by alternating light and dark fabrics with each round of borders. The contrast creates movement and emphasizes the layered layout created by the rectangles.

Experiment with different fabric placements in EQ8 to see how color value changes the overall appearance of the quilt.

Potato Chip Quilt with Added Plain Border

Pro Tip: Calculating Fabric Pieces

EQ8 makes it easy to determine how many rectangles you’ll need from each fabric.

Go to:
Print & Export > Yardage

EQ8 will generate a fabric chart showing:

Each fabric used
The number of patches required

If you added finishing borders (such as a long horizontal border or mitered border), remember to subtract those pieces from the totals to calculate the exact number of 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles needed for cutting.
