Stripes

6/25/2016

 
One of my favorite special exhibits at the 38th Annual MN Quilt show was entitled Stripes.  This was the staff challenge for Glad Creation's Quilt Shop.  Here are a few of the quilts from that exhibit.  I also took some close-ups so you could get a better feel for the "stripe".
This exhibit inspired me to make my own stripe quilt.  Mine, however, was done in Electric Quilt.
Electric Quilt Tutorial on Using Striped Fabric
Stripes by Kari Schell
For this week's Electric Quilt video tutorial, I will share some tips for working with stripes in Electric Quilt.  If you haven't used Rotate Fabric and Fussy Cut recently -- this video is for you.
Most of the stripes used in this quilt were from Michael Miller's Stripe collection.  These images were less than perfect for coloring my quilt -- but I will share a few tips on dealing with that as well.  :)

I also picked up the latest Stash Collection from Electric Quilt and had to play with that as well.  This is a collection of the latest released fabric lines from the major fabric manufacturers.  Here is my It's a Mystery pattern done up in the Americana II fabric collection by Riley Blake.

Featured Pattern - It's a Mystery 

This quilt was originally designed for a mystery weekend – hence the name.  This seemingly complex quilt is easier than it looks.  Instructions provide for strip pieced and over-sized units that are cut down with the use of the recommended rulers from Deb Tucker’s Studio 180 Design.  

Three sizes are available: Lap 57 x 69 (shown), Twin 69 x 93 or Full 93 x 93

Recommended Tools:
  • Tucker Trimmer 1™
  • Wing Clipper 1™
  • V Block Trimmer™

Oh nicely done! Kari I have used the fussy cut tool in a similar way when scanning in purchased fabric for my quilt and didn't realize I could use the photo edit as you did nor did I know about being able to edit the degree of rotation. I always learn from your tutorials and that is what I truly love about them. Thank you for helping me learn and review.
I think I remember this block or something similar where string piecing was used to fill the striped look of the star points. Using stripes is a lot less work but the other is good for stash busting too. I'm going to run through the tutorial again and write down the steps - applying 3 methods should help me retain it longer and my notebook can become a resource if needed in the future. Thanks again!

I just finished creating my quilt with a number of colorations (lots of fun) and received an update to EQStitch. Did you just get an update to EQ7 as well? I'll have to go see what all is new.

Forgot to click on receive notification to my post for the update to EQStitch and or EQ7. Could you let me know if you got updates as well please? Thanks

No updates. I checked and I am on Version 7. Build 3.

As Connie noted below -- the 3.2 version appears to be specific to EQ Stitch.

The update that I received was for EQ7 stitch, which is the add on for embroidery. Maybe you do not have stitch as you use Art and Stitch for your embroidery. I have it on my wishlist but at the moment cannot justify the expense.
Love your tutorials, I learn so much.

Thanks Connie. As you guessed I don't have the EQ Stitch as I use Art and Stitch (which has both embroidery and longarm digitizing functionality). I do read Yvonne's posts on Do You EQ and will apply them to my Art and Stitch software.

Love you videos! I have learned so much by watching them. When I import fabric for a project will it still be there for the next project? Or for each project do I have to re-import it? I guess what I am trying to ask is once fabric is imported will it stay in EQ7 so that I can easily use it in other projects without having to import it again?

You don't have to re-import it from the website. It will be in your project file and you can copy it from one project to another through "Import from Project" feature in the library. Alternatively you can save it in your library and bring it into projects whenever you want.
