This is another quilt on the cutting board. I used the Winding Ways block available through Accuquilt, for use in cutting on the Studio cutter. I mapped the layout using EQ7. However, I did the colour mapping after I had already cut the fabric on the die cutter. Sort of putting the cart before the horse. Oh, well. If this does not look exactly as the photo below, I can live with that.
I have had it cut since last summer and will hopefully have it finished for the end of August, to take with me to the Grand Forks Quilt Guild Show, held in Grand Forks, BC, Canada.

The trays of colours are stacked and ready to stitch. I am again using the built in walking foot on my machine, the quarter inch foot with blade on the far left, and stitch length of 2.0. I am pressing my seams toward the darker colours. I will post photos of the blocks in progress. Using EQ7 has saved me hours of hand colouring blocks. If I don't like one layout, I can easily change colours to create another one. Save it and print it out for reference.
This is the actual version of the Winding Ways Quilt that was recently completed. Winding Ways also goes by the name of Wheel of Mystery.
