I had originally designed the quilt for Hoffman Fabrics. This will continue until the end of this week on the 19th. If you haven't been following along you can still get previous projects starting with the first one on December 1.

Each day since December 1, Electric Quilt has offered a free download (EQ7 file) of a pattern by a special EQ artist. Today is a special blog not only because I will be drawing for a fat quarter group from P&B and one of my patterns, but also because I am today's guest of the EQ Christmas Countdown. Congratulations Rina Mason, I will mail your fat quarters and pattern in a couple days. One of mine and two from Cheryl of Meadow Mist Designs.This time I won't make you wait until the end of the message to post yesterday's winner.

I have barely scratched the surface with what this software can do, but it has already made a huge difference in how I move an idea from a paper drawing to an actual quilt. If you have any tips that you would like to share please do so in the comments. These are two very simple tips that have helped me in using this software. I simply added it to the toolbar now rotating fabrics is an option! The icon shown below (two green squares with an arrow) wasnвЂ™t one of the default buttons on my toolbar, so I didnвЂ™t realize it was there. This is especially helpful when using directional prints. The second tip I learned is that I can rotate fabrics. Amy did state in her webinar that Electric Quilt works to keep the fabrics current so they are always fresh and new. I have not done that so I canвЂ™t speak to the fabrics that are included. You can also purchase fabric packages from Electric Quilt. I love this feature!! I donвЂ™t know about other manufacturerвЂ™s yet вЂ“ IвЂ™m still exploring. So, where do you find images of the fabrics? Moda, Robert Kaufman, and Andover show all their fabric lines on their websites and they are available for download at no cost. This one tip alone has saved me a huge amount of time. I found myself constantly scrolling to the end to get to the fabrics I actually wanted to use. Normally, there are 80 default fabrics showing here and when I import any new ones, they go to the end of the list. These are all from Basic GreyвЂ™s Saturday Morning line that was recently released. In the screenshot above, you can see there are a total of 40 fabrics. It keeps my sketchbook so much cleaner and eliminates the clutter of fabrics that wonвЂ™t be used. Even though I knew I could import fabrics, I did not realize I could delete the default fabrics. One of the tips Amy gives is this: When starting a new project, import the fabric you want to work with and delete the default fabrics that are in the sketchbook. EQ makes it so much easier and saves me a ton of time. I could import fabric swatches there, but it was an extremely time consuming task.

It is so much easier to design a quilt with the actual fabric and gives meВ a real feel for how the quilt will look once I piece it.Д«efore I boughtВ EQ7 I used Excel to draw my quilts. My favorite feature of this software is being able to import fabric swatches. BTW, if you are a member of the MQG, you can access the webinar through their website on the Resources page. I learned a few tips in using the fabric library that have changed the way I work with this software, so I thought I would share them with you. Her webinar focused on using EQ7, so I was extremely interested to hear what she had to say.

I recently watched a recorded webinar that Amy EllisВ held for the Modern Quilt Guild a few months ago. In addition to the patterns IвЂ™m writing, it seems I have a gazillion practice pieces IвЂ™m using in EQ7.

Since then I have been playing and experimenting with the software and learning what I can by trial and error.

In the spring, I was fortunate to be able to purchase a copy of EQ7 at the AQS quilt show in Lancaster, PA. With all this going on, I thought it would be a good time to share a couple of tips for working with the Electric Quilt software I use.
