EQ7: Seasons Row-A-Long & Giveaways

Welcome to my day of the
 

This is the final week to share

the rows that have been created.

 

I hope that you had a chance to check out

all the previous week's rows.  You can find the schedule here.

Thanks to Maria at Seams To Be Sew.  She has worked hard to get

amazing sponsors for this blog hop.

You can also see some blocks and color inspiration

on

  Facebook and Flickr.

 

Were you able to figure out what my row is?

I gave a few hints.

 

 

 

I choose Summer, because

it means time to enjoy my family with

absolutely no distractions.

Just the Water and a time or two in the Sand.
(It's hard to find much sand next to water in Colorado.)

 

This is my row.

SURF and SAND.

 

 A little Waves and Flip Floppin' Fun!
It is relatively easy pieced row
with a little applique.
 

 

I have had EQ7 for about three years.

I am no expert at it,

but all the quilts that I complete are

ones that I have drawn up in EQ7 first.

For this, it was no different.

I knew that I wanted water in my

block.  For me it represents fishing trips,

swimming pools and summer vacations.

I just love the water.

When looking through EQ, I notices that the

Monkey Wrench block resembled a wave.

 

 

I thought that I would build on a block

that was already in EQ.

First, I added that block in my sketchbook.

Then, I started working away.

I like to go to the coloring option on the block

to see what I need to do to change it around.

 

 

I know that the block is close,

but I need to change a few things.

 

 

After changing the color on a few areas and adding a line or two,

I ended up with this. 

 

 

This is close, but I knew that I wanted

to add Flip Flops and change the row

a bit.

 

 That is one the great features of EQ7.

You can edit parts of the block by using the arrow in the upper left corner

and making a box around that area.

 

 

In  this picture, I rotated the inner box.

You can manipulate and play with

the blocks that are already in the EQ7 Library.

 

I could play and manipulate

different blocks and colors for hours.

This is the final block that I created.

 

 

It is a mix between piecing and applique.

You can find my FREE Row pattern HERE.   

You will have to register on Craftsy in order to get the pattern.

 

 

 

Instead of using applique on the flip flop strap,

I used DecoFoil in Lime. 

It adds a bit of bling to the block.
