I was spending so much time trying to get it to do what I wanted, I eventually decided I'd rather be sewing.<br /><br />I can't wait to see your Hudson Bay quilt! I've had this idea, also, but it is so far down my to-do list I'll probably never make one. Those blankets are so beautiful in their simple design :)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08733260699809919293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373100723178299298.post-3751476716726338112012-03-22T22:04:49.819-04:002012-03-22T22:04:49.819-04:00Love the idea.

If you want to use EQ regularly, I would consider upgrading to EQ7. There is a good book from Fran Iverson Gonzalez called "EQ6 simplified": yes I know it is EQ6! but it can easily be used for EQ7, and I think it is still on sale on the EQ web site. I have decided to make more use of the software lately(what a nice coincidence!) so I use this book and the EQ7 user manual to practice and get a good understanding of the software. This software is a very good tool!<br />Anne-Marie B. from across the river!

FYI moda now has an option on their website (unitednotions) to download a whole fabric line of jpgs at a time. It is very fun!Cindy Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694393041670847676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373100723178299298.post-78567220985575197252012-03-22T10:46:35.045-04:002012-03-22T10:46:35.045-04:00This is a great quilt idea!

My mom got mine about 10 years ago as a reward with her zellers/hbc points. She saved up something like 5 million points to get it. <br />Anyway, you're right about the design being quite modern. I can't wait to see how you translate it into cotton. I'm sure it will be fantastic!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00307333354110021492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373100723178299298.post-60339170462029925232012-03-22T10:20:47.342-04:002012-03-22T10:20:47.342-04:00Great minds think alike and all that - I've be...Great minds think alike and all that - I've been thinking about making a Hudson's Bay quilt as well!
