Sunflower in Electric Quilt

UPDATE June 2024 

There are dozens of free EQ project files to download on the website.

Sunflower Quilt Blocks with Inklingo

Inklingo prints the cutting and stitching lines on the fabric so it is easier to cut and sew Sunflower Designs than with any other method. You don’t have to know how weird the measurements are. No measuring, no templates! This is not a design that can be paper pieced.

This is so fast and easy with Inklingo. . .

. . . Monkey wants to know—

What will you do with all that extra time?  <grin>

You might want to spend some of that time playing with color in EQ to get exactly the look you want.

Inspiration in the Sunflower Quilt Design Book

There are dozens of quilt layouts in the Inklingo Sunflower Quilt Design Book, but Anneke at Stof Genoeg has shown us that there are many more possibilities. Visit her blog and see what I mean!

EQ7 PROJECT FILE—FREE!

I drew Inklingo Sunflowers (quarter, half, whole) in EQ7.

Electric Quilt is a wonderful tool for designing new color combinations.

I am not an expert with EQ7, but these were fun to draw. I ended up with tiny variations from the Inklingo ones (which are measured to three decimal places), so they are just for coloring and playing with layouts.

They are perfect for you to play with color combinations.

Color Your Sunflower Design in Electric Quilt

That’s right. Monkey and I did not color the blocks. We left that pleasure for you. You can scan your own fabrics or choose from hundreds of actual fabrics already in the EQ7 library.

This is one of the quilt designs in the Inklingo Sunflower Quilt Design Book.

With a few clicks in EQ7, you can see how different it would look with other fabrics and colors.

Amazing! This is fun!

The Inklingo Sunflower Quilt Design Book is free when you buy a related shape collection. Don’t miss out on 108 pages, including design tips, sewing tips, and worksheets.

There are several more messages, about Sunflower on the blog. Use the search feature for more articles about Sunflower.

Do you like having EQ files to go with the shape collections? Inklingo friends are happy to help, and so will I!

  1. I will just have to admire what you and others do using EQ…not one of my tools but my friend has it and sometimes she helps me with block designs, quilt designs and color ideas. I just don’t think I would get my money’s worth out of EQ but I admire what others can do with it!

  2. Thanks, Linda & Monkey,
    This is a great idea and terrific service!
    I just uploaded a file with my Double Sunflower block to the Inklingo Yahoo Group Files (in the Electric Quilt Files Folder) as well. I must warn everybody, though, my block does not have accurate measurements, but it works for auditioning colors.

    Hugs, Anneke in Rotterdam
