National Quilt Day is around the corner! And in honor of the event we want to show off Martha’s EQ7 designed quilt she made for the National Quilting Association. It was on the cover of Quilting Quarterly and now on the NQA website. Martha writes, “I used EQ7 to design the quilt for National Quilt Day 2012 for National Quilting Association. The quilt and pattern instructions will appear in mid December in Quilting Quarterly and then will be posted on the NQA website in January. The quilt will be on display at the NQA annual show in June in Columbus, Ohio.” ~ Martha Ethridge, Rolla, MO So cool, Martha! Thank so you so much sharing with us.
