We are participating in Christa’s book tour for her new book Machine Quilting With Style. Read below to see how Christa designed her quilts with EQ7 and enter to win the program!!
We just love the quilts in this book! And yes, they were designed in EQ7!! EQ Artist, Teacher and Author, Christa Watson tells us about herself, her book and how she uses Electric Quilt design software to create such fantastic quilts.
I am super excited about my brand new book, Machine Quilting With Style. It includes 12 complete patterns along with step-by-step instructions on how to quilt them on your home sewing machine.
I’ve always enjoyed teaching others the entire process of making a quilt from start to finish, and it thrills me to no end when I help someone conquer their fear of machine quilting. For beginners, I recommend trying out some of the designs that utilize your walking foot for quilting. In the book I show several alternatives to plain-old stitching in the ditch. Once you are comfortable with the process, I encourage you to give free-motion quilting a try. It’s not as scary as you think and the key to success is letting go of imperfection (along with a little practice)!
For me, designing quilts is just as fun as making them, which is why I love using EQ7. Many times, I’ll have an inkling of an idea but am not sure where it will take me. I start by sketching out a basic block or quilt design in EQ. From there, I will make several variations – changing sizes, adding or removing lines, testing layout options, and building several versions of the quilt. In fact, I’ve created many different quilt designs that you would never know all originated from the same idea! I’ll also audition multiple colorways and love that I can easily import swatches of fabrics that I plan to use.
Recently I have been playing around with adding quilting motifs to my quilts, because I also like to know what the quilting will look like before I start!
Once I’m happy with the design of the quilt, then I’ll create a rough pattern to work from. I’ll figure out the math and write out the steps to make the quilt. That way I can follow my own directions, and pattern test the quilt as I go, making notes along the way.
Using EQ7 really came in handy when I submitted my book proposal to the publisher. I was able to show them all of my design ideas in full color and they approved every single one with great enthusiasm!
I’ve included images of some of the design sketches I created in EQ7, and you can see how closely they resemble the actual quilts in the book!
My personal favorite quilt from the book is Facets. I used some of my favorite solid colors and am excited that they will soon be available as a precut bundle through Robert Kaufman. Just look for the “Christa Watson Designer Palette” in October. In fact, I love these colors so much, I created another design using them called Puzzle Box. It was so helpful being able to use the Kona Cotton Palette directly in EQ while I designed! Of course this quilt would look great in your favorite fabrics, too!
I’m offering my design, Puzzle Box, as a free EQ7 download as my way of saying thanks to the EQ community who have supported me in my journey.

I can’t wait to meet her in person in Ohio at EQAcademy. I love the looks of her quilts and she explains the modern movement perfectly!

9:25 am
How wonderful! If I win my first project would be to design a quilt for my husband. He’s always been so supportive of my crafty efforts and he actually enjoys going to the LQS to pick out fabrics, so I think it’s time he gets a quilt of his very own.
09-17-2015
9:28 am
I had an early version of EQ (maybe v 3?) but didn’t keep up with the upgrades. I have an idea for a quilt based on a chemical formula I’d like to try (former lab tech).
09-17-2015
9:29 am
If I had an EQ7, my first project would naturally be a quilt. The thought of getting in there and playing around is extremely exciting. EQ7 would more than likely help/make my creativity flow. Thanks for the chance to win.
09-17-2015
9:32 am
I would design a quilt for my bed! And then use it to plan my farmer’s wife quilt!

I would love to design a quilt using a FQ bundle I have had in my stash for a while- Autumn Lily fabric
09-17-2015

What an amazing giveaway. I’d use this to design a star quilt for my daughter using some precious Heather Ross fabric. Thank you for the opportunity!
09-17-2015
9:52 am
If I had the EQ7 my first quilt would be one based on morse code and the second would be a quilt based on DNA strands. Thanks for the chance to win!
09-17-2015
10:08 am
Excellent post! If I won, I would design a quilt for me and my husband. I’ve been collecting a particular fabric line and just haven’t decided on the design. My husband also enjoys the design process so would love EQ7!
09-17-2015

I would start with something with geese, then something with stars.
Thank you for the chance to win this wonderful prize.

I want to design a quilt with the Canadian emblem and the Province of Ontario behind it…and would love to have EQ7 to help me, because I’m stuck on how to go about it.
09-17-2015
10:22 am
If I had EQ7 on my Mac, I would design a wall hanging quilt for my daughter and son-in-law, who are expecting our first grandbaby!
09-17-2015
10:23 am
If I won the EQ7 giveaway, my first project would be a quilt!
It would probably be some sort of awesome “secondary designs” kind of pattern because those make me happy.
09-17-2015
10:29 am
EQ7 is on my Christmas list! I have a couple paper pieced quilt ideas in my head and would LOVE to do them in EQ7. Thank you for the chance! I’m going to cross all my fingers and toes for this one!!
09-17-2015
10:31 am
I have lots of charity quilts to make and EQ7 would help so much to make those quilts awesome
09-17-2015

I would design a baby quilt to post on our Etsy shop! This program would be so much easier than our current way of sketching designs!
09-17-2015
10:42 am
I would love to win EQ7. I am starting to make my family members quilts and comforters and need to design patterns that fir their personalities. With 4 children, 2 granddaughters and 1 great-grandson and 1 great-granddaughter I will be getting plenty of experience.
09-17-2015
10:49 am
I had an early version of EQ, so I’m really excited to get to try out the newer version on my Mac! For my first EQ7 quilt, I would design a black and white quilt to be made with some science/math fabrics I picked up this year. Engineer as my profession, quilter on the side!
09-17-2015
10:50 am
I would use EQ to get some of my patterns out of my head and into a quilt.
09-17-2015

I would love to win and would design a Dallas Cowboys quilt for my husband!
09-17-2015
11:00 am
I have so many ideas spinning around in my head I am not real sure what the first one would be.
09-17-2015
11:00 am
I’d use it for everything but my first project would most definitely be a quilt. Normally I have to sew a sample and plug a photo into a mosaic app to get an idea of what secondary patterns might show up and what the finished quilt would look like. I’ve wanted EQ for forever to streamline the process but it hasn’t fit in the budget. Thank you for the chance to win a copy. It would be put well to use.
09-17-2015
11:03 am
I’m not sure what would be my first quilt design. I have so many unfinished projects to get done first! Thanks for the chance to win!
09-17-2015

I have a pile of fabrics for a quilt for my little guy, but no pattern! I would love to play around and design something.

Oh my stars, Christa is amazing and I’d use EQ7 to make my first full bed size quilt. Something from Christa’s fun book!
Thanks!!!
09-17-2015
11:19 am
I have admired Christa’s quilting for years! I know how much she enjoys her EQ7 and I’d like one too. The first quilt I would design on it would be something very vintage modern. Thanks!!
09-17-2015
11:35 am
I would design a quilt to memorialize the trip to Hawaii that my Mom and I took last spring. I visited a quilt shop and bought fat quarters while there with the project in mind

I have an older version of EQ that I use all the time. I have been using it to draw the farmer’s wife quilt. The first quilt I would design would be a modern one,
09-17-2015
11:48 am
I would play around with abstract designs…….I have so many ideas floating around in my head! It would be so nice to be able to have an easy way to get them on paper, change, rearrange, and just play………until voila!
09-17-2015
11:50 am
I have problems trying to draw a quilt out on paper. This would be a dream to let the computer figure out the math for me and design it also. thank you
09-17-2015
11:53 am
If I had access to EQ7, I would stop worrying about my problems with geometry and calculating diagonals!! What a relief that would be!!
09-17-2015
12:02 pm
If I had EQ7 I would design a quilt for a layer cake that I currently have no plan for.
09-17-2015

I’ve been wanting to learn EQ. I’m hoping to design a quilt for my son. An airplane quilt.
09-17-2015
12:04 pm
I’ve been wanting EQ7 for awhile. I get inspiration from other people’s quilts, but I always want to design my own. This would be a wonderful program to have!
09-17-2015
12:08 pm
I would like to design quilts for my two teenage daughters for when they get married. Have a wonderful day!
09-17-2015
12:09 pm
Thanks for a chance to win. I love to design my quilts.
09-17-2015
12:27 pm
I would figure out the nitty gritty details of a quilt I’ve had in my head for a long time. (Nothing like starting big, right!?) And then I would learn the program….
09-17-2015
12:30 pm
I would love to win EQ for my Mac. Right now I have several quilt designs in my sketchbook and computer that I want to develop into real quilts and even patterns and this would be a great way to bring them to life. Thanks for the chance to win.
09-17-2015
12:34 pm
I want to make a quilt for some friends who have been very helpful with some recent home renovations. It would be fun to play around with EQ.
09-17-2015
12:34 pm
An applique design.
09-17-2015
12:39 pm
If I won EQ7 (after I’d stopped squealing of course) I’d design a baby quilt for a dear friend’s first grandchild. It was all announced today, so it seems that fate is working me towards making her a cot quilt. Once they get back to me about what colour ways and themes they’re going to use, I’d be able to crack on. From videos I’ve seen , I think EQ even let’s you see particular fabric ranges on the screen in your design. Mega cool function for me!
Thanks Christa and EQ for this chance
09-17-2015
12:39 pm
Hi, I would so much love to learn how to make my own quilts. I have just done one quilt and I want to learn more about making quilts. My first quilt will be for my Grandson of whom I am just getting to know better.
09-17-2015
12:58 pm
I want to be like Christa when i grow up and design quilts lol Truly i have a tonne of ideas, fingers crossed
09-17-2015
1:08 pm
I would like to use EQ7 to import one of my original drawings and test different fabrics and colorways in the design. What a fabulous giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great piece of software.
09-17-2015
1:10 pm
I love Christa’s projects! I’ve had an idea kicking around in my head for a few years for a quilt inspired by my day job as a scientist – an excitation/emission wavelength quilt, and I think EQ7 would be super helpful to finally figuring out how to do it!
09-17-2015
1:10 pm
I would love to design a modern quilt with lots of negative space for quilting.
09-17-2015
1:15 pm
My first project would be to design a quilt with as many different blocks as I can imagine. Thanks!
09-17-2015

I love to quilt, so I would design a quilt. Halloween is coming up-so maybe a frightening quilt!
09-17-2015
1:48 pm
My first project would be a design for a group of sampler blocks made in Christmas material.
09-17-2015
2:02 pm
My husband has been asking for a Rush quilt. He’s a huge fan of the rock band Rush.
09-17-2015
2:04 pm
I have a quilt that I am uncertain of how to finish: I’ve strayed from the pattern’s color palette so the sashing colors or even style will not work. I’ve been coming up with some ideas, but would love to see how they would look before actually cutting up the fabric. So this particular quilt would be my first design on EQ7 – it would not be a completely new design, but it would help me complete this existing design. Thank you for the chance!
09-17-2015
2:07 pm
I would make a king size quilt for my bed. I have made over a dozen quilts for others and haven’t made one for myself yet. I use a lot of graph paper and colored pencils. The EQ7 would save a lot of time, especially when I change my mind about the design. Thanks.
09-17-2015
2:17 pm
I would design a quilt, would like to check out how different fabric looks in it.
09-17-2015

09-17-2015
2:24 pm
I would love to try some complex paper piecing patterns without having to try and work out every teeny piece, so I hope EQ can deliver! Thanks for the chance to win
09-17-2015
2:36 pm
If I had EQ7 I would get to work right away designing patterns for some quilt ideas I have in my head involving curved piecing.
09-17-2015
2:50 pm
If I won EQ7 I won’t have any math problems anymore. It is fun and adorable to design my own quilts (mostly baby’s quilts) but it’s extremely difficult to me to do correctly the sketches.
09-17-2015
2:57 pm
My first project would be a baby quilt paper pieced.
09-17-2015
3:14 pm
If I were lucky enough to win EQ7, I’d start my making a quilt each for my 2 sons. I have an idea in my head of a quilt using different flags so I’d need to draft each flag in addition to fitting that into a quilt shape, so it’d be very complicated to do by hand.
09-17-2015
3:30 pm
If I had the EQ7 I would make a fancy Irish chain design. My family would love to help with the design of their own quilts. Thank you for the opportunity.

I’d love to design baby quilts for new nieces and nephews.
09-17-2015
3:53 pm
My first project would be an original quilt design that I have on graph paper but have had a hard time making the block graphics on the computer. If I had EQ7 I could make the block the size and shape it needs to be and finally get my very first pattern published! I’m excited for the chance to win! Thanks!
09-17-2015
3:54 pm
Each of my kids “need” new bed quilts, so I’d probably design something for them. Thanks for the giveaway!
09-17-2015
4:11 pm
I would design a special quilt for my mom who has Alzheimer’s. She taught me to sew when I was ten but I just started quilting recently. I’d like to design a unique quilt for her to snuggle into this winter.
09-17-2015
4:14 pm
I would plan how to quilt an improv quilt I made for my son with converse sneaker fabric. Fun
09-17-2015
4:18 pm
My projects are usually small, but if I win the EQ7, I would make my first bed quilt for my daughter, who is going to study in the UK.
09-17-2015
4:52 pm
I would design a quilt for my 2-week-old daughter! I know I’m going to make one sometime soon, but I totally can’t decide what to make. EQ7 would help me try a bunch of different options!
09-17-2015
4:53 pm
I would love to give EQ7 a try for quilt design- especially since I can use it with my Mac now.
09-17-2015
4:59 pm
My first quilt would be for my future great-grandson. My second would be for my husband of fifty-five years and me, a large queen-sized quilt. It would have a little bit of everything I learned in Christ’s class in 2016 in Denver.

09-17-2015

09-17-2015
8:05 pm
My sister designed the cutest fox quilt block that uses templates. I would use EQ7 to take that design and make it into a paper pieced pattern.
09-17-2015
8:29 pm
I would design my next modern quilt! This would be so helpful. Thanks for the chance to win.
09-17-2015

09-17-2015
9:41 pm
I would make a paper piecing pattern!
09-17-2015
9:55 pm
If I were to win EQ, my first project would be to design a quilt for my son. Since I’ve started quilting, I’ve asked him what kind of a quilt he wanted. He’s never been able to identify exactly what he wants. Using EQ, he and I could together design exactly what he’d like. I’d love to be able to give him something he could keep forever!
09-17-2015
11:31 pm
I would use it to design a wall hanging for my entry way. I have a block in mind, and would love to be able to see different layouts before I start.
09-17-2015
11:31 pm
I would love to have an EQ-7 for MAC. I would have to start from scratch on learning to use it, but would then design a modern quilt for a Christmas gift for my mother.
09-18-2015
12:47 am
I was so surprised during a recent block blog hop at how many people used EQ7 I’d love to try it and design a unique quilt with the program.
09-18-2015
1:17 am
Thank you so much for this giveaway opportunity! My first project will be designing a quilt with various flower blocks (pieced, appliqué, foundation paper piecing). I’ve been collecting batiks & have envisioned this idea for months. I started with a collection named Monet’s Garden & have purchased additional batiks so as to have plenty of variety to work with
09-18-2015
1:28 am
Ohhhhhhhh, I’ve been dreaming of getting EQ for a while now. Probably the first quilt I’d design would be a baby quilt for my cousin. But I have so many quilt ideas, I’d love to just play!
09-18-2015
2:00 am
I’d love to use EQ7 to design a quilt based on my son’s artwork. Thanks!
09-18-2015
2:53 am
EQ7 looks amazing! If I won, my fist quilt to design would be for my great-nephew’s first real bed quilt. And I am putting Christa’s book on my Xmas list!!
09-18-2015
3:30 am
I would do something inspirational, geometrical and modern!!!
09-18-2015
3:33 am
I would so love EQ7. I guess it would be some wedge paper piece quilts. I like the style and the ideas.
09-18-2015
5:55 am
My first project on EQ would be to try some coloring options out for BOM clubs. I would love to finally see what it might look like before the blocks are finished.
09-18-2015
6:02 am
New to quilting so I would love to win the program.
09-18-2015
8:35 am
EQ7 is on my buy list for quilting, with this program I have the freedom of designing my own quilts which I am yearning to do, you can use graph paper but this program would be so much easier, to win this program would be a big savings, thanks for the chance to win one! Love your quilts Christa!
09-18-2015
10:29 am
i have a layer cake of vintage by makower and i know how i want a quilt made with it to look but no pattern: that’s what i would design with eq7. thanks
09-18-2015
10:33 am
i have been wanting EQ since they came out with a mac version
My retirement is approaching and one of my loft goals is to make a real dent in my stash– so I can buy more! EQ would help me make more and more interesting quilts
thank you for the generous giveaway
09-18-2015
11:04 am
Thank you so much for this terrific giveaway. There are so many creative quilt designers out in the blog world such as Christa that share their designs with us. But I would love to try and design by myself!
09-18-2015
11:17 am
Oh boy I have so many in mind, I can’t seem to follow a purchased pattern without altering it to fit my vision. I would use it to make changes in all of the quilts I piece!
09-18-2015
11:28 am
With Autumn fast approaching, I would go with a Fall design, leaves & pumpkins.
09-18-2015
3:45 pm
I would like to try designing a quilt for my parents. Thanks for the chance to win!
09-18-2015

09-18-2015
7:06 pm
I have a graduation quilt to make for my son, and I’d like to design something wonderful for him!
09-18-2015
7:36 pm
This is an easy one! If I had EQ7 to use on my PC, I would design a quilt using Celtic knots.
09-18-2015
8:28 pm
My first project with EQ would finally be a quilt for our bedroom. Everyone else has a pretty quilt but my husband and I are living in a “taupe” world. Time for a change.
09-18-2015
8:38 pm
I would love to design a “modern” style quilt.
09-18-2015
9:00 pm

09-18-2015
9:02 pm
The first quilt I would design would be one for our new baby!
09-18-2015
9:05 pm
My first project would be to design and print the foundation pieces for a star block quilt. I am having trouble getting the blocks to come out the needed sizes.
09-18-2015
10:12 pm
Thanks for the givaway! If I had EQ7, I’d love to design a unique airplane block quilt to make into a raffle quilt for my chapter of the 99s, organization of woman pilots. We’ve made 3 so far, in 2006, 2011, and 2014, but they have all been the same block and layout. I’d love to do something different for the next one. This is our major fundraiser for our scholarship and youth aerospace ed program.
09-18-2015
11:56 pm
I would love to own EQ7! I would use it to first play around with quilting motifs for about half a dozen quilt tops which lie waiting for the right inspiration to strike me.
09-19-2015
1:07 am
Will be overjoyed & happy with the EQ7. Won’t know just where to start. However having said that, I will do quilts for each of my 4 great grandkids. Love the log cabins!
09-19-2015
2:17 am
Wow, what would I design with an EQ7? I would design blocks that would profile the fabric’s character. Probably 4 to 6″ sizes. My favorite fabric is the 1800′s reproduction so don’t you think the blocks will be great?
09-19-2015
3:14 am
The Eq7 looks to be such a creative tool. I am relatively new to quilting but want to create quilts that are unique to an individual. I am excited about this opportunity.
09-19-2015
6:20 am
i would love to design multi-block designs that fit together so well that they looked like single block designs but with more complex secondary designs.

I want to make some map quilts. What I have in mind is interpreting what I’ve seen from airplane windows flying across the US, the Pacific and Atlantic, and across Europe (especially Turkey, Germany, and England). Then on to map quilts based on my memory of living in various parts of the US. With EQ I know I could do it!

Wow that is a pretty neat thing–eq7. I think I would have my five year old help me design a “frozen” themed twin quilt. She spied a snowflake looking blanket the other day, it was a doggy blanket, and she almost took it from grandmas dog because of the snowflakes! N.snaer at gmail dot com

If I won EQ7, my first project would be a Modern piece with some improv elements. I know that may sound somewhat contradictory, but I would like to test some ideas and color combinations to get an idea of the overall effect of the completed piece before cutting into fabric. I have too many ideas and not enough time or fabric ($$$) to test the ideas using a design wall. Thank you!
