![]() ![]() I'm making my blocks 12" x 12", which worked well for block #1273 or Crows Foot/Bright Star. The sew along is an opportunity to become familiar with the Block Base+ program. The fun of this sew along is that the blocks can be any size you want, in any arrangement you want, in any fabric you want. ![]() There's no need to sign up for 3+ month sew along which lasts until mid-July. For each block, there's also a link-up two weeks after the block is featured, just to show them off. The first block was featured March 29, and every two weeks, a new block will be posted by EQ, for a total of eight. Unfortunately, this post would be way too long for more detail, so I recommend looking at the handy comparison chart of old vs new - that should answer any more questions. More quilt designs are possible when Block Base+ is linked to EQ7 or EQ8. As a stand alone program, each block shows the category it belongs to, alternate names, it's history, and multiple preset quilt layouts, which is fun to scroll through for a quick idea of how the block looks in different quilt layouts. The new Block Base+ has 4264 blocks, and can be a stand alone program, or linked to EQ7 or 8. Personally, I like Crow's Foot or Bright Star. And isn't that first block pretty? It's #1273, and according to Block Base+, it's also known under several different names: Maple Leaf, Bright Star, Crow's Foot, Hummingbird, and Rosebud. ![]()
