Class Overview

The more you use EQ8, the more fun it is to discover new and interesting methods for block drawing and quilt designing! Learn tips and tricks to make EQ8 do more than the obvious. Create an isometric grid in PolyDraw to draw hexagon-motif (free-standing) blocks. Draw a custom set quilt layout from the EasyDraw Block Worktable. Learn to design an irregular-shaped quilt – round or angular! Explore the Layout Library to see how to resize, edit, and customize existing layouts. Create a quilt design with 60-degree pieced triangles in the Variable Point layout. Bend the “rules” for merging blocks with the Serendipity tool. Practice analyzing existing quilt patterns for structure identification and design inspiration. Make EQ8 your favorite video game!
