Change it up with EQ8!

At first glance, would you think these two quilts are the same pattern?

They are the same pattern. It’s Blue Lagoon by Linda Hahn and Deborah Stanely (featured in the March issue of AQ magazine!). We just changed it up using different fabrics and placed them in different patches!

That’s the magic of color! You can achieve entirely new looks by simply adjusting your fabric placement or fabric colors!

Here’s another example…

Believe it or not, each of these quilts uses the same pattern and fabrics! We just changed it up! The block, Faceted Star, is simply repeated 9 times, but colored differently in each quilt.

Feel free to print this page and color the patches yourself to see what you come up with! Or do it faster with Electric Quilt 8! That’s how all the images above were generated. In a few clicks of the mouse, you can see your quilt come to life in endless colorways!
