Vintage Bicycle Girl Panel Quilt

5/7/2022

 
Scroll down for the Vintage Bicycle Girl Panel Quilt EQ8 Tutorial.

Tech Know Quilter March Showcase

One thing I hear over and over again is -- I didn't know you could do "that" using Electric Quilt 8.  One thing that holds us back from truly using Electric Quilt 8 is just not understanding that this versatile software can help you create any type of quilt.  I think you will be inspired by the quilts created by Tech Know Quilter members using Electric Quilt 8.
​
​
Tech Know Quilters is a membership program focused on mastery of Electric Quilt 8.  We have members at all stages of their Electric Quilt journey.

If you would like to join this amazing group of quilters, you can sign up for the wait list here.

Kristy Goodin Soard "Mobius Radial" by Audrey Esarey was featured in the Piecing category at Quiltcon 2022, and thought it reminded me of the Master's Class by Kari with the Zebras. So I challenged myself to try to design it in EQ8.

Shawn Spjut I have to say, I'm really loving the Auto Border feature on EQ8. I really like the log cabin challenge, but I think it's the border that makes it pop.
Picture
Patrici Hansen I just took the t-shirt/panel class, but am busy working on wall hangings for a nearby church. Here is the beginning of the first one. I ended up putting sun rays behind it radiating out from the base of the cross but not filling all of the background space.
Picture
Lynne Maramieri I thoroughly enjoyed the lessons in the Landscape class. I am amazed at how much I have learned and know that I have only touched the surface of what EQ8 can do.
Picture
Lorraine McMahon I played around with the panel design and using my Drunkard's Path die. I will make a Project Linus quilt from this design.

Edith Craig My class this month was Landscape Quilts. I especially enjoyed working with photographs to create quilt pictures. Attached is a quilt designed from a picture I took in Washington of Mt. Hood.

Julie Pedersen This month I took the Pattern Writing class part 2. I learned a lot about different ways to write a pattern using EQ8 and Inkscape. Here is a logo that I created (using a block from another lesson) for part of the class.
Picture
Sara Edmonds Byman I have completed the first set of lessons on Fabric Collections. I enjoyed them all and learned a lot. I especially liked changing the fabrics in the practice quilts. I am in a charity quilting group and we do a lot of baby quilts for the local Pregnancy Center so I added pastel fabrics to the quilt in the last lesson.

Zdenka Nemethová This is my Custom Set Panel Quilt - I took T-shirt & Panel Quilts Lessons in March. I used the same layout as demonstrated in lesson 6 but different (spring) panel. Love this class ❤

Nanne Panne I love my garden quilt and i will sew it

Dianna Carter Lesson 13 Pattern Writing Designing a Cover. Not in a million years did I ever think I could do this. This is a quilt that I am working on since I join TKQ with your lessons and help I have made this quilt.

Masters Pattern Writing Challenge

In March, a number of Tech Know Quilter Master's members responded to the challenge to create their own pattern.  In the Master's classes for February and March we covered some basics of pattern design.  In addition to working in Electric Quilt 8, we also covered using Word (PC users) and Pages (Mac users) along with Inkscape to create illustrations and instructions for our patterns.   We spent a lot of time on drafting pattern diagram illustrations.

Numerous members commented that they had a much greater appreciation for all the work that goes into creating a pattern.  Kudos to those of you that are writing and publishing patterns.

​​Here is some of what was shared during the lessons.

Vintage Bicycle Girl Panel Quilt

Did you know that you can print your own "panel" and incorporate it into a quilt.  The image in today's quilt was obtained from the Graphics Fairy.  It was resized to fit on one sheet of paper and printed on fabric. 

​If you need some help on how to print on fabric, you can check out my video - Secrets to Successfully Printing Words on Fabric.

To use this image in your Electric Quilt project, download the image and save in your My EQ8>Images folder.

In the video tutorial you will learn
  • how to import and resize a "panel" image
  • creating a window pane quilt to feature the panel
  • Adding pieced flying geese to one of the blorders
  • Printing the panel from EQ8
Here is the quilt from the video.

Piecing the Vintage Bicycle Girl Quilt

Cut the Vintage Girl panel to three equal size units (3" x 8-1/2").  
  • Cut 1" wide sashing and piece between the panel prints.
  • Add 1" inch cut border (border #1).
  • Create flying geese units.  Cut the pink pieces 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" and the taupe 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" per instructions below.
Picture
  • Cut Taupe borders 1-1/2" wide.  Add flying gees units and adjust borders to fit your quilt.
  • Cut outer border 2" wide.  Adjust length to fit your quilt.
Picture
To quilt I did swirls around the outside of the quilt.  I stitched in the ditch around the graphic and I filled the background space with "Fracture Fill" -- a pattern within Art and Stitch's Creative Fill library.  With my Intelliquilter, I used both No Sew Zones and Clipping blocks for this part.
