Being productive is not just about what you're doing; it's about when you're doing it.
While checking out one of the blogs I follow, Civil War Quilts, I follow this blog so I can draw the blocks in EQ 7. While there I saw a quilt with this wonderful Double Flying Geese border. Scroll to the bottom of that post. The quilter is Lois O and this is her link. Of course this border intrigued me. When I saw her drawing I thought I can draw this in EQ 7. I did but to be honest I had to draw it first on graph paper, and then it was easy! Shape Tool So here is a little tutorial to draw it in EQ 7. I made the block lay out, twice as long as it is wide. There are 6 geese, so I divided the length into 6 even segments. To make drawing easier I made my block 6" x 12". Each line I drew across the block I divided into thirds. To do this you need to use the shape tool, the second tool from the top on left is the tool you use to divide lines in half or thirds. This is on an Easy Draw block. This is a very handy tool for drawing complex blocks. Be sure to click on the little red square to open the menu. Menu and lines divided into thirds These dots for the thirds helped me line up the points for each goose. On the right is the menu for the shape tool, which allows lines to be divided. Here is a close up of the triangles for the geese. There are some extra lines that need to be removed to make the sky larger around the geese. The same area with the extra lines removed. To delete the lines, use the Pick tool, the top left hand side tool, click on the line, it will be bold, and use the delete key on your key board to remove the lines. Here is the completed and colored block, be sure to add your dimensions to the Notecard so you remember the correct size of your block. Remember EQ 7 default size for all blocks is 6'' x 6". You can draw this block in easy round numbers like I did and then change the size to print your paper piecing paper to fit your quilt. And here is the paper piecing pattern. Now wasn't that fun! I think I even know the quilt I might use this one. If it isn't too busy. Happy Stitching and Happy EQing!

Economy Quilt Blocks also known by many other names has been around forever. My Heather Ross and Munki Munki stash has been around not quite as long but I decided the two should get acquainted an make some magic! There are numerous patterns available on the internet in a variety of sizes for this block. It is the perfect beginner paper piecing pattern. If you think you cannot paper piece, try this block! For these blocks, I chose the free paper pieced pattern from Generations Quilt Patterns. They offer the pattern for this block in four different sizes. I chose the 4 inch block for these special fussy cut centers! To help with perfect fussy cuts, instead of making a plastic template, I cut the center out of the pattern. Some of the centers are very tight with no room to spare. Being able to clearly see the fine lines ( I need all the help I can get) and placement is a must. After figuring out the best placement, I used my 3 in ruler to trim the 1/4 inch seam around the outside each side of the frame. If you feel more comfortable with a little more seam allowance that is good too! Better to have too much than too little. You cannot put it back! For the first few ( or if you are new to paper piecing) try numbering the pattern by step. This way your blocks will all match. I found I made two that did not match and so decided to number a couple until I got my groove on ;O) I use Aurifil 50wt thread for all of my piecing and paper piecing. It is a two ply thread that is both very thin and also strong. Perfect for making your blocks flat! I love 2600 but am out of stock here in the gogostudio. I have been using many different shades of the med to light gray that I have on hand and am finding they work just as well. Here are a few more of the blocks I completed yesterday and the day before! I have more center fussy cuts ready to go and a huge mess of fabrics to create more today! If you are making these and are on Instagram , I would LOVE to see yours! Please find me at gogokim and tag me with your #economyblocks. Blair from Wise Craft Handmade and Lucy from Charm About You will be making some too! I love this fun online quilting club!
