When JoAnn asked me to make two of the "Hero's Tribute" quilt tops, she sent me an OVERLOAD of fatquarters to use. Many of them were medium-browns that were too dark to be used for backgrounds. When I finished the second top, I found that I still had about 15 good new pieces of these browns.
So I asked her if I could put together one more top for her.
Here is the design that I came up with, using EQ5.
I used the few pieces of reds, blues, and golds that were leftover from the earlier stars construction. And I am amazed at how well the colors from EQ5 match the colors I had to use.
This is what I came up with, finishing the piecing today. The final measurement of the top is 51 x 71 inches. It could be quilted as is, or have a border added to it.
Either way, it makes a generous-sized couch/nap quilt......my favorite type of quilt ! I hope she likes it.


Don't you love using EQ? I am having such fun with it even though I still have LOTS to learn. This is a great design. I'm sure your friend was thrilled with a bonus quilt!
