A Little EQ6 Morning Fun

Sometimes I just have to.  So, while I love to use the Serendipity Merge feature to make new blocks, there’s also simple cut and paste.  So when I take this block:

economy patch

And do a Copy and Paste so I can superimpose it over this block:

four blades block

I wind up with this block:

Pinwheel Spin block

Now.  How fun is that?

And then I can put it in a quilt.  Like this:

2 block pinwheel spin with sashing

Or this:

2 block with pinwheel spin 2

It occurs to me I’d like to see the block without that center circle.  So here it is without:

  pinwheel spin without inner circle

Yes, I like that.  Cleaner.  So, like this in a quilt:

2 block pin wheel spin without inner circle orange 

Fun way to start the day.  Now I’m off to do real work (bummer).

  3. I'm a newbie to EQ6, so I appreciate knowing what this program is capable of. Will you actually sew this? Perhaps as a miniature?
