What Was I Thinking Part 2

Last week I shared how I started with an image and designed a block around that image.
​
​Here was the block -- plus a couple of additional blocks shared by members of Tech Know Quilters.

If you missed the blog video and tutorial, you can still watch here.

For the quilt, I decided to use Custom Set as it gave me the most flexibility in my setting.  I've included lots of tips for using Custom Set in this EQ8 video tutorial.  In this tutorial, I will also walk you through my decision making process as I created the quilt.  This is how I like to design.

After creating a more traditional quilt, I made a couple of minor adjustments and ended up with a modern variation.

The Tech Know Quilters group has been very busy this week.  Their work has been amazing!  It was hard to pick which ones to include in my blog.
