You might not even need the custom layouts for those. I think that quilts like the ones you linked to are a piece of cake, once you learn to operate the layouts. I know that there are ways to design asymmetrical custom quilt tops on EQ7, but I've never done it myself. I don't want to invest the money if it is not going to meet my needs 100% as I will keep to my pen and paper/photoshop method for much cheaper.Įdit to add: I guess what I am looking for is the ability to merge blocks together and then resizing each individual row or column (much like excel) I have had the opportunity to try out EQ5 and found it extremely limiting, I could not find a way to design quilts that are not rows of blocks, for example would I be able to do something like these? I am a somewhat techy person so decided to look to see what quilt programs were out there. I find myself spending a lot of time in photoshop piecing together what my proposed design will look like and then have to calculate if I even have enough fabric to do it. I also like to have an overall visual of what I am doing before I start to be sure it looks the way I want it to when I don't follow a pattern outright. ? Make big blocks? Try to match prints to give the effect of solid strips? Or some other fix? Any ideas or advice you feel like sharing would be so appreciated! And thanks for reading this long-winded post.I find myself constantly adjusting patterns to meet my fabric needs. I just don’t have the experience to know how best to proceed. how do you think I should deal with this back? I have enough fabric, but not enough to make solid strips across, like in the picture. Oops!īTW, I plan to use only 3 different fabrics on the back rather than five: 1 yard of one, 3 yards of another, and 2 yards of a third. One of the pictures shows the back with five wide strips of fabric that span the whole width of the quilt (11th picture down from the top of the page.) Those are solid pieces of fabric, right? HOWEVER, I’m making the double/queen size (80″ x 88″), so my fabric will not be wide enough to be solid strips. I’m getting ready to cut some of the fabric that I plan to use on both the front and back, and I realize that I failed to consider how making a larger version of this quilt would affect the back. Quilters, I have a question about how to deal with the back side of this quilt.
