Best Friends & Bow Ties by Lori Dickman
Marcus Brothers Fabric Company is offering a Challenge this month (October of 2018) for Electric Quilt Software blocks. If you own software (EQ7 or EQ8), you should jump out to their site and enter your own quilt design! The link from “Do You EQ” to the Marcus Brothers Design Challenge is noted below. The link gives specific instructions on how to enter the Challenge and upload your quilt design. I encourage you to participate!

The quilt I designed in my EQ7 software is pictured above! I’ve named it “Best Friends and Bow Ties.” The quilt uses the “Best Friends” block along with four “Bow Tie” blocks in the corners. Those four Corner blocks feature a smaller “Best Friends” block tucked into the Bow Tie! This design is made for a wall hanging size (48″ square). The pattern uses four of the beautiful Ki Coo Garden fabrics from the Ki Coo Collection by Marcus Brothers. I entered and uploaded my quilt design onto the site today. When you go to the link noted above, you’ll see a couple of entries there.
On November 1st, Marcus Brothers will choose two random winners who will receive a Fat Quarter bundle of the Ki Coo Garden collection! I look forward to seeing all the beautiful designs that get uploaded to the site. Would certainly be fun to win the beautiful Fat Quarter bundle!
Happy Quilting!
