We’re going to have some fun with Christa Watson‘s new fabric collection, Abstract Garden! You’ve got the whole month of February to play around with these fabrics in EQ, find a design you like, and submit an image of your quilt. Two lucky winners will each receive a fat-quarter bundle of the fabric from Benartex! Contest details below.

  • Participants must use EQ8, EQ7, EQStitch or EQ Mini.

Two random winners will receive a fat quarter bundle of the Benartex fabric!


Winners will be announced on the blog during the first week of March. EQ will contact the winners via email.
