Stars Table Runner

This evening, I saw a picture of a quilt somewhere online, and I thought, I should be able to do that in EQ8... So I gave it a try.  Haven’t ever designed a quilt with two different size of blocks in that program. 

But... 45 minutes later... I’ve got it, in two color schemes. Which do you like best?

Casserole Dish/Dutch Oven Cozy, Hot Pads, and Fingertip Potholders

Yesterday I made the casserole dish or Dutch oven cozy, and today I finished a couple of large hot pads and two fingertip potholders, made from the leftovers of the cozy.  The set will be a wedding gift.


The hot pad and fingertip potholder on the right are upside down so you can see the backs.

'Optical Circle' in EQ8

Playing around with EQ8 (latest Electric Quilt program). I decided to try designing something with the PolyDraw Arc tools ... just 'cuz I hadn't done that before. So here's my version of the Vortex Quilt that was made in 1910. I call it 'Optical Circle'.

Anyone know if one can decrease the width of the rings as they get closer to the middle?
