Quilting Designs for Secondary Blocks

7/22/2023

 
During last weeks blog post, I shared how to draft an amazing Geometric Garden quilt using Electric Quilt 8. 

It is one of those blocks that is fun to draft and also has a lot of potential when used in a quilt. 

​If you missed the tutorial, you can still catch it here.

I hope you enjoyed seeing their variations as much as I did.  Quilters are so creative.

Quilting Motifs for the Geometric Garden Quilt

The blank blocks in the Geometric Garden quilt, really called for me to add something more.  After a bit of personal debate, I decided on a quilting design.  The one I came up with started with a circle and added cross-hatching inside the circle.

If quilting designs intimidate you, this is definitely a great way to get started.  I promise -- it is easier than it looks.
Here are the quilting motifs along with the final Geometric Garden Quilt.

I look forward to seeing what you decided to do with the alternating blocks.  Please feel free to post pictures in the Learning EQ Facebook group.
