Now that everyone can purchase EQ add-on downloads, we wanted to highlight two of our European designers! Annika Kornelis The first designer is Annika Kornelis from The Netherlands.

Check out her New Year’s EQ8 quilt design, Fantasy Chinese Dragon, made up of simple quilt blocks. When asked how and when she got into quilting, here’s Annika’s response. “My mother got into quilting when I was a girl, and she still quilts at 86!

I already had a modified log cabin block that I had been playing with, and EQ8 allowed me to layout over 25 quilts to test ideas and colorways. For the final design, I used the custom layout option so that I could incorporate blocks from 3 to 39 inches in the final design. I even printed foundation patterns directly for the smaller blocks. EQ8 was the design tool that
