A Stunning Quilt: New to BlockBase+

 

I had this small photocopy of a quilt pattern--- not much information, "A Stunning Quilt" read the headline and it looked like an Alice Brooks/Laura Wheeler syndicated design. 

I sent it to the programmers at Electric Quilt.

Voila!

Now that it's in the new BlockBase+  you can print it any size.

 #3369 would seem to be perfect for EPP, making

a paper template for each piece, etc.

Here BlockBase+ has drawn the patterns for a 9" block. It's a circle in a square with a six-sided shape in the center. The algorithm gives us a template for every piece. I think of Al Gorithm as a human in the back room to whom I must explain everything. Al usually wins as I have no idea what I am talking about.

But here I am going to email Al and ask if the corner pieces are not the same and could thus be one template, etc.

When I first started working for EQ I was explaining (trying to explain) the seam allowance concept to the chief programmer. Suddenly a light bulb went off linking sewing land to programming land. "Oh. A simple algorithm!" says he. Me, I says, "Whatever," and went home and looked up the word algorithm (a formula to shorten programs.)

And now we have a simple algorithm called Quilt Layout which gives you a variety of sets for each block.

Here is the block set all over in a grid.

And on point.
