Color palate for quilt

Hello I finished buying fabric today for the quilt I designed! ( see previous post). I cant wait to get started on this one. It was so hard to work the rest of the day with this beautiful fabric saying come play!!!
Unfortunately I have a teleconference tonight so cutting may have to wait till tomorrow. Will post a pic when I get the first block finished.
Happy sewing

My first quilt design with EQ7

What a happy day! I designed my first quilt with EQ7.
I took a class last weekend and all i have to say is WOW!!
Time just absolutely flies when i am playing in this program.
The whole basis of the design of this quilt was two panels I bought, one has the serentiy prayer and one is 1 Cor 13- love is patient love is kind etc..
My hubby wanted me to design a quilt around them.. so I did.
The 2 beige solid blocks in the design are where the panels will go.
I have about half of the fabric i need and envision a trip to a local quilt shop in the near future to pick up the rest. This quilt will be done in batiks and I will post a pic of the progress along the way. I cant wait to get started on this one!!!

finished baby quilt!!

Hi all
I have been quiet on here because I have been working on a baby quilt for a friend and actually finished it prior to the shower! It is simple but cute and I quilted this one myself, which I don't do very often, need a long arm but hubby calls that a want. I am very excited to take a class on EQ7 on Saturday. I already have an original design in mind and some fabric to make the quilt.
I also have 2 other quilts back from the quilter to put the binding on, need to get busy sewing!

New quilting software arrived today

Great day with UPS!! I love when the brown truck comes bearing gifts.
I got EQ7 in the mail today. I am installing it on my laptop as i write.
I hade EQ5 but did not use it much... I am going to take a class on the software at a local quilt shop. I am hoping this will get me the basics so I can really use it to design a few quilts. I have a panel that my hubby wants me to design a king size quilt around. THe manual for EQ7 is 272 pages, I am a techie person but i flip through the manual and see blah blah blah. I learn much more efficiently by someone showing me the ropes so to speak. Do any of you have EQ products and if so how much do you use them???
