It's a beautiful quilt. The squares are so tiny! I'm working on a baby quilt and started with 2 1/2" squares but decided they were too large. I'm doing 2" squares now but am still wondering if they're too large, especially after seeing your quilt.

I'm not sure what version you are using. I just upgraded to EQ6, so I'll give you the directions for that version. I do have EQ5, so if you want me to post directions for that version, I can do that as well. I think they are pretty similar.<br /><br />So, you need to be in the "Quilt Layout" view (where you work on the quilt).<br />Click on one of the hexagons in your quilt (doesn't matter which one).<br />From the "File" drop-down menu, go to "Print" and from there, choose "Block"<br />At this point a box will open on the screen.<br />Check the box to "Use size from quilt"<br />Then in the section where it says "Printing Style", check "As an applique pattern"<br />Next, click the "Options" tab<br />Check the box "Print as many as fit"<br /><br />I always click "Preview" before printing to make sure it's going to print the way I want.<br /><br />Give that a try, and if you can't get it to work, let me know and I'll help you if I can!<br /><br />Good luck and thanks for reading my blog!Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17194520724134488377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4876372456193437741.post-83103708533245903772012-01-18T02:49:25.239-05:002012-01-18T02:49:25.239-05:00Can you post directions to print templates using E...Can you post directions to print templates using EQ?

It's a little scary at first when you try applique, but I have found it SO worth it. It really opened up a lot of different possibilities for me in quilting.

After that, we need to let him/her do what is going to be done. We can be there if or when things fall apart, offering our unconditional love and support.<br /><br />In my case, I have always regretted that my family saw me as too independent and headstrong to tell me what they saw as red flags in my relationship. I wish someone had tried. But isn't hind sight 20/20? I would have been furious at the time :)Marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02360024468812924968noreply@blogger.com
