There is a book out there, One and Done with large scale blocks so all the figuring is done for you. I added borders to one of them to make it a bit bigger.

I've seen an ohio block done in a 36" size--add a couple of borders and you have a great quilt. Fussy cut the center block and you have a winner!

I have a large block quilt book... what do you need?

May, thanks for posting the links. She was the lady I had seen on Alex's show and wanted to mention... Chris

I think you are thinking of Anita Solomon on Alex Anderson's show. I have those patterns and I'm looking to branch out.

What I really need is a simple Ohio Star block that is 36". I guess I just need by bu*tt in gear to get some paper and draft it out!

I do appreciate all your help, ladies...your the best!

• • • Is this what you are looking for?

If that doesn't work, click here.

It's actually bigger that 36" square, but if you would like, I can whip out the numbers in my QP6.

Or one like this???

Bozie, yours is the one I am looking for. Are you drawing that up in EQ7?

Sure. Here's the EQ7 version. If I were doing it I'd cut the squares for the QSTs a bit larger, say 13 1/4 - 13 1/2", then trim the four-patches to 12 1/2" after sewing and pressing.

Bless you, kind woman! I can see EQ can really help you make quick quilt patterns. Do you use it to make your mini patterns?

If you ever have time, I would also love the churn dash in a 36" block (hint, hint!). Thanking you in advance for your continued kindness!

Yes, I do use EQ7 to design the minis I make - and some I probably will never make!!

Is this the block you want? There are several more "Churn Dash" blocks and this block has quite a few other names as well............

That is my fav Churn Dash

Mine too.

As an FYI I'd like to add that any 36" nine-patch is just a group of 12" blocks sewn together. I'm glad to post from EQ (with credit) the cutting directions for any. Just trying to be "empowering" to any who might appreciate that sort of information......

Your such a sweetheart for drafting out the pattern, Bozie!

Would someone post the detail for the border on
Jayardi's quilt? It's beautiful.

• • • Thank you Twoboysgrammy.

Here are the instructions for the border.

Thanks for posting this. I can use this for making quilts for Hospice patients. Can you tell me the yardage requirements for this design?

Thanks.

Quiltmaker

Quiltmaker, the EQ estimate of yardage for one 36" Ohio Star block as shown is 3/4 yd pink, 3/8 yd blue, 3/4 yd red. Those are based on 40" usable width of fabric and no loss in squaring the ends. Personally if I were buying fabric for it I'd start get one yard and half yard cuts. There will be some left over but that would be true in either case since you can't cut four of the large squares from a single regular width of fabric.

Thank you, Jayardi, for the instructions and photos.

Just recently received an email from AcuQuilt with their "Hip To Be Square" and it caught my eye. I think you could make the units finish at 4" and then add borders and end up close to 36" quilt.

here's a link to the finished quilt photo:

click the left and right arrows at the bottom for more photos including their EQ draft pic. I do not own a GO! Cutter and don't plan to - but I became a facebook friend of theirs hoping to win one.. and now get their emails which are sometimes inspiring.

This pattern appealed to me b/c it's made up with HST's and QSTs which are something I know how to make Good luck collecting some new 36" patterns KC!

Bozie, I have EQ7 too - but haven't quite mastered how to use it yet. Lost the book and each time I sit down to use it get too frustrated. I read on the COF retreat thread where there were several who were asking for a class on using it - perhaps if you ever go to a COF you could teach us!?

http://www.accuquilt.com/go-sh...fast-star-quilt.html

here's the link to the main page of the pattern - says you get it for free with the purchase of a die. but I think you can draft it out

Bonnie, I don't see any retreats in my future. And I'd probably be a lousy teacher anyway!! I can and would gladly explain anything I know to anyone who asks but the thought of putting together a coherent class to teach a group of people something as broad as EQ7 use is way beyond me!

The program does have help files and even some videos built into it. And the EQ website has a tech support group you can email or even phone.

Bozie, how many EQ versions have you worked with?
