Thanks, Barbara! As a native Angeleno I’ve been collecting photo ideas for some time for my tall corners to feature my home town of LA. Now I have an idea how to fit them in.Sally Gould Wright

Thank you, Barbara, for posting this info! My plans at this point are to use buildings that have meaning to my family including the administrative building at the university I retired from last year, the oldest academic building at the prep school my son attended and city hall in the town I've lived in my entire life. Got a headstart on these with my wool version of this wonderful design. Fourth corner is yet to be determined.Carole Berry

I've already drawn the Statue of Liberty, it'll be machine appliqued with some embroidery added for dimension My other considerations are the University of Texas clock tower, a barn or windmill (for my country-living daughter) the AT&T Cowboys stadium, the Reunion Tower in Dallas, or maybe the new Dickie Arena in Ft Worth. I might go world wide though & use the beautiful patterns Wendy will provide....so many happy choices! Thank you Barbara & all who continue to provide inspiration & encouragement, this quilt is so fun

I love the idea of designing our own “skyscraper”, and have taken the measurement info. into my EQ8 program and am drawing a foundation pieced pattern of Canada’s Peace Tower, in Ottawa (which we live not far from). Just about finished and will then attempt to do one of the CN Tower, in Toronto. It is fun to give this quilt a “Canadian” vibe!

Yes I do have EQ8 but truly, not as efficient with it. Just learning. Thanks so much for sharing Pat. My email is [email protected]. Big Hugs!!!

Hi Pat. Would you be willing to share your Peace Tower pattern with me? I do not have EQ so not sure if it is possible to email it to me.
-
Is the Statue of Liberty in EQ8 as well?

of Liberties in 3 corners and look at them or take pictures one at a time. That will show how well they coordinate with what you already have done. Good looking Statue. Would love to see a picture of the statue with the rest of what you have done. HelenW

Pat, Love your EQ8 skyscraper. You really went into small details. Will it be totally paper pieced, or do you plan to paper piece
the larger sections and embroidery or machine stitch the details. Super impressed. I am just loving this BOM.
If Monique wants to do the same block, She could probably just use graph paper with 1/8 grid and use yours as
a jumping off place or if you showed her the block layout with the grid on a screenshot from EQ8, it would be easy to draft
herself. Great Job Pat, Would love to see the the fabric block when you make it. HelenW
Pat, Do you have any pictures of your center of the quilt posted? I was wondering if you had the kit fabric or your own palette. I could not find any with your Name.Last edited by Helen W.; 07-21-2021, 11:50 AM.

Thanks Helen. As you noticed I did end up with some awfully tiny "bits" in my drawing in EQ8 and instead have digitized a Cdn. flag and will do same for a "clock face" and will use machine emb. designs for those spots. I've offered to "share the file" with Monique - it be great if she has EQ8, but if not, will send her a .jpg of the design which she can hopefully print out to scale and use for a block.
As for any pics of my "centre" I have a big confession - I haven't started yet!! I am literally waiting for some ordered fabric to arrive (today!) for background, backing & binding. I've not had my "quilting mojo" in gear, having been rehabbing these past few mos. from a hip replacement but have instead, once I decided to start this CYW project, have been watching Barb's videos, printing off patterns on freezer paper, downloading instructions ,"shopping my stash" for building & tree fabric - plus designing my "skyscrapers"! I've in the past done several paper-pieced projects and enjoy the process (ever seen any Cynthia England patterns - luv 'em! - have "Stitch in Time" displayed in "My Quilts"). Am anxious to get started particularly from all the inspiration I'm getting from the forum! Well let you know here, when I start posting any pics!
