I've been tinkering with a layout for a little "Monster" quilt I'm making for Jack.Today, I went from paper, to EQ5 (which always feels so laborious), to Adobe Photoshop. I actually had FUN in Photoshop and came up with several design layouts. Tom and my favorite is shown.
It has four 12" pieced blocks (two light & two dark), six 9" panels, and two odd sized rectangle blocks (to be cut out of a large scale fabric). The overall size is around 42"x50" (before borders). Next up is figuring out the cutting sizes for the background pieces and seeing if I can cut them out of a certain piece of fabric I have in mind.
Sounds Great. I think the odd spaced quilts look the best when done, but oh what a pain to figure. Good luck

See. And I absolutley LOVE figuring it out! I was having so much fun doing the math and fitting the puzzle pieces together to cut out of my cloth.
ReplyDeleteI got all the math done only to realize some of my pieces were oriented wrong (the background is a stripe); then I realized that the Alien Panels are actually bigger than 9", so, back to the drawing board!
I'll just change the size of the blocks but see if I can keep the layout similar.
