Winner: Kim Wheeler!
This contest is now closed. Thanks for participating!
Did you see this book in the newest issue of Love of Quilting magazine? It definitely caught my eye! Scrap Quilt Secrets by Diane Knott is a must have. Read about Diane’s expertise with color and scraps and how she uses EQ.
EQ: Hi Diane! I noticed your book, Scrap Quilt Secrets, in the newest issue of Love of Quilting. Tell us a bit about it!
Diane: Thanks Christine, I’ve been giving quilt presentations and teaching workshops for a few years and I noticed that I kept getting the same questions over and over again. Basically, it seemed like most people wanted to know more about the process or steps I take to create my own bright scrappy quilts designs with hundreds of fabrics in them, from traditional two or three color vintage quilt designs. So I came up with the S.C.R.A.P.S. (Style, Contrast, Repetition, Accent, Palette, and Selvages) system to explain my process.
Scrap quilts are so popular and diverse!
EQ: What’s your favorite quilt in your book and why?
Diane: That would depend on what day it is. My favorite quilt is usually the one I’m currently working on, but the one that is really special to me from the book is called Paper Chains. I loved to make paper chains from strips of colored paper when I was a kid. I always thought it would be fun to create those chains in fabric. By using simple four patches and Drunkard’s Path blocks I was able to create the woven effect. I want to make this quilt again in blues, purples and pinks. Honestly though, I think any color combination would work.
EQ: Can you give away one of your “secrets” from your book?
Diane: Sure! Secrets are only fun when they are shared. One of my favorite secrets comes from the chapter about using Accents. Often folks think of scrappy quilts as quilts that have every random fabric from the bin. And that can work, but it will look much more organized or ‘pulled together’ if you add a fabric that works as an accent. The quilt Detour has almost every shade of every color in it, including some rather crazy prints. The addition of the blue/turquoise check fabric really helps organize and calm down the design. EQ7 is great for figuring out the yardage needed for an accent fabric.
EQ: How did you benefit from using EQ7 for the quilts in your book?
Diane: I use EQ7 in a couple of different ways actually. The most frequent thing I use it for is block design. When I get an idea for a block or a combination of blocks, I like to draw them and save them for later. I don’t try to design the whole quilt, just the blocks so I can reference them. I shade them usually in white, and light grey and dark grey so I can remember where I want the light, medium and dark scraps to go. Later I can go back and insert color choices.
The other way I find EQ7 helpful is for auditioning options. Once the quilt is fairly well designed, I will change the shading to see what color placements can be reversed. I’ll also audition sashing and border options to see if I want to add them. The block below ended up in a quilt in the book, but it’s got a great pieced sashing that creates and secondary pattern.
Occasionally, I will design the entire quilt from start to finish in EQ7. That doesn’t mean I always stick to the plan, but it gives me a blueprint to work from. I joke that all of my quilts are mystery quilts, because even I don’t know how they will turn out. Paper Chains actually worked out perfectly in EQ7 and didn’t need any changes.
EQ: How long have you been using EQ and how did you first hear about it?
Diane: I’ve been using it for probably 6 or 7 years now. My husband gave it to me as a birthday gift (I may have dropped some serious hints!) I had heard of other quilters who used it and liked it. I was curious to see what I could do with it.
EQ: How did you learn to use the program?
Diane: I followed the instructions and read the book! Then it was mostly trial and error. I find that the longer I use it the more I learn. I also learned that Matt (in tech support) has the patience of a saint. He never once laughed at me, and I’m sure that wasn’t easy.
EQ: Would you recommend EQ7 to other quilters?
Diane: Absolutely! I would encourage folks to learn it little by little. It’s got so many things to offer but it’s not a race. You don’t need to ‘know it all’ to start. Just start simple and learn with experience. I’m sure that there is still a lot of things I don’t know about it, but I really have fun with it anyway.

I live in Miami, Florida, which has absolutely no quilt shops. I make it a point to locate quilt shops when I travel and luckily, my co-pilot has the patience of a saint and not only stops at all the quilt shops I find, but never tries to rush me out or rolls his eyes at the bill.

Enjoyed your tips on scrap quilting. I really like what I call ‘organized scrappy’. As you suggested, adding an accent fabric to a scrappy quilt just brings it all together.
My favorite quilt shop would have to br Patchwork Plus in Marcellus NY. The staff is always so helpful, welcoming and willing to answer questions no matter what they are doing. It’s like they used to say on Cheers…..,”where everybody knows your name…”

I’ve only been quilting since the Row by Row in 2015 and that was a great way to start. I had to visit many shops and learn where they were! Locally I have Ready, Set, Sew that I really like. It can be on my way home from work even (which can be dangerous). I’ve really enjoyed learning to quilt and am just learning EQ7 so that I can create my own designs as well.

I live in Russia, in the small city. We have no quilt shop. And I bought fabrics of ConnectingThreads.com.

Just down the street is Calla Lilly Quilts. They have fabrics from the traditional to the modern and offer some amazing classes with instructors from all over the country.They have a wonderful selection of thread for any type of quilting.

I live in Norman OK. We don’t have a quilt shop here anymore. I started quilting just a few years ago when my health forced me to retire. I needed something to keep me out of trouble lol and that I could do on days when I had little physical energy but a great deal of creative/brain energy. I learned that the only quilt shop in town had closed not long before that time. Until recently we have had both Hancock’s and Joann stores. They both honored the others coupons and so I had great fun working the coupons for the largest fabric gain. I am very sad that Hancock is going out of business – my daughter sent me a condolence card. HA!

The Round Bobbin Quilt Shop in Ambler, PA! I work and teach there (- although I’m not at all biased!) We’re a friendly and helpful shop, yet know how to leave you to your personal space if you’d rather wander around on your own. Susan, the owner, brings in a wonderful mix of fabrics and I love going in when I’m scheduled to work and seeing what’s new. We’re looking forward to meeting lots of new quilters during this summer’s Row by Row!

My favorite quilt shop for fabric is called The Fabric Place Basement in Natick, MA. For years the best place in Metro-Boston for quality quilting fabric, as well as any other kind of fabric, trim,notion etc., was The Fabric Place. After three generations of the same family owners the store closed about 10 years ago and the store, under new ownership became another fabric store called Sewfisicated Fabrics. They sold quilting fabric, a much smaller selection, and certainly not the same quality. So our quilting community no longer had a local quality quilting fabric store. Imagine our delight when just a few years ago a new store sprung up in the same area as the Fabric Place called The Fabric Place Basement. One of the children of the original family opened a new, and much smaller, store in the basement of a shopping complex. To our delight the quilting community in Metro-Boston has a wonderful place to purchase quality quilting fabric once again.

It’s located in an older historic building in the older historic Havelock area of town — a cohesive neighborhood that was a small town absorbed by the city over time. High ceilings, quilts hanging, lots of corners and crannies and aisles to explore. I never leave with the feeling I’ve seen everything in the shop.

I have to name two: Momma Made It in Longview, WA has an amazing selection of Civil War repros and a wonderful atmosphere; the owner, Sharon, has done a splendid job of creating a warm and welcoming environment in her shop. My own little town of Clatskanie, OR is very lucky to have a quilt shop on its main street, The Quilted Dandelion. Desma, who owns the shop, amazes me with the wide variety of classes and projects she can get the town’s creative women enthusiastic about: everything from aprons to embroidery, making their own shoes to blocks of the month.

All the quilt shops I knew of in my city have closed so I use the local Joann’s or shop online with Missouri Star Quilt Company or Fat Quarter Shop for all my quilting needs.
I am so excited! I just found a (new to me) quilt shop in my area – Veronica’s Fabrics. Can’t wait to check it out.

Since there isn’t a local quilt store in my area, I buy on-line or go to Joann in Ontario Oregon as they are only 60 miles away. This is problem when you live far away in the country, but the quiet lifestyle is great! I’ve been using EQ since it first started and have been upgrading ever since. My life would be boring if not for EQ and quilting.

My favorite quilt shop is “Pine Hollow”, just outside Stanley WI. This shop contains not only many bolts of fabrics, but sewing supplies, and Amish noodles and goodies. Their prices are below those of other quilt shops, by a few dollars a yard. So many in our quilt guild prefer to make the 30 mile trip there, than go elsewhere. We all have HUGE fabric stashes built up over years of quilt making, which we rely on a great deal.

I would have to say that my favorite quilt shop is JoQuilter Fabrics, in Bellevue, Iowa. And to be honest, it’s my shop. I’ve been a quilter for 35 years,(a shop owner for 14 years) and I am totally a scrap quilter at heart. It was very hard in the beginning to be a scrap quilter because I had not been a home sewer and had no fabric. But I started buying 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 yards and I have a huge private stash plus the fabrics in the shop.

I really like scrap quilts. It’s a way to use fabrics I really like (and some I don’t). My favorite quilt shop is Quilter’s Cocoon, Riverside, CA. The owner is so personable and it is a pleasure to shop there. She is also a “Tuffet” distributor.

I am so fortunate to have so many great quilt shops in my area that it really is hard to choose just one. I love Heritage Designs in Amana IA. Fabric designer, Stephanie Brandenburg’s mother’s shop “Fern Hill” in South Amana, IA is another wonderful shop. Inspirations in Hills, IA has a great selection of fabric and the staff there is great. Cotton Creek Mill in West Branch, IA is fairly new and very quaint. And I love going to Hidden Quilts in Platteville, WI for EQ7 lessons and to see the constantly changing quilt displays with many new fresh ideas.

I love Aunt Nell’s Quilt Shop in Pineville, Louisiana. Allison is the owner with her husband but she’s the genius when it comes to quilting. I don’t care what I need, she’s got several solutions in mind. She has helped me choose fabrics for so many projects.
There just is no one like her! The shop is eye appealing and she keeps it fun for everyone.
Hugs,
Betty

I don’t have a favorite quilt store….but I do have a favorite quilter….
she lives in Linwood, NJ close to where we vacation in the summer….she makes
beautiful and personal quilts (she made one for me out of old tee shirts from
some of our trips in Europe, Asia, etc.)…she is “Quiltessentially Patty.com”
…I absolutely love her quilts and her creativity.
