Starburst

8/25/2018

One of my favorite uses of Electric Quilt is to draft a block in EQ using the technique I plan to use to piece the block and then create my own quilt layout for the block.

The video tutorial this week was inspired by the Studio 180 Design Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star tool along with the Starburst Technique Sheet.  I loved how easy it is to piece this block using Deb Tucker's over-sized piecing/trim down techniques.  No need for foundation patterns, templates or set-in seams.  My kind of block!

​.In this video I will cover drafting the block using PolyDraw, using Serendipity to frame the block for a fun complementary design and creating a quilt using an On Point setting.

Do you like the fabrics in this quilt.  They are the freeFabric of the Month download available from Electric Quilt.  The collection was designed by Christa Watson for Benartex. 

EQ and Benartex also have a design challenge going on.  Create your own EQ design using these fabrics (and submit on the EQ page by 8/31/2018) to be eligible to win.  Learn more here..

This was a fun lesson. I have a question about something else. I received an e-mail that there is an update for EQ8. I have not done the previous update. Should the updates be done in order or is the new one inclusive with the last one. Thank You for your help
