I had the program for awhile but got frustrated because the buttons and screens were confusing at times. I purchased Fran Gonzalez’s EQ5 Simplified and it opened up a whole new world in quilt design for me... http://www.hobbystash.com/quilting/?p=101 348967A2-1DF3-4640-9EB0-B295F07EE555 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 07:58:04 -0500 The Food Whore - Gracefully Turning Tricks Since 1999 Well the name of this blog says it all!

I should be done quilting Round 3 today and moving onto the final round of this quilt. http://www.hobbystash.com/quilt/quilt08a.php 2925125B-77AC-4C56-A82B-C0008E788A16 Sun, 5 Oct 2008 08:34:41 -0500 Main Diamond Quilt Pattern I chose to quilt using a coordinating pattern for the main diamond in this round. Accent Diamond Quilt pattern The small accent diamonds were quilted using a straight line stitch 1/8th inch apart. Border Pattern The zigzag stitch on the blue border coordinates with the brown triangles. I established guides by marking tips of brown triangle with a water soluble marker. ]]> The Book of Lies by Brad Meltzer To be honest, I have mixed emotions about this novel.
