The EQ8 Block book, what’s not to love about this? There are over 6700 blocks and this book makes it so easy to see what is included with EQ8. If you are going to splurge on an EQ8 book, this is the one to get. I use it to flip through to get design inspiration, and even discover new blocks I had not even thought of. If I want to draw a block, I can usually find something close to it in this book and just edit the block. All of these blocks are editable and copyright free, so you can use them to design all your quilt creations and make patterns from them to boot. Sometimes blocks have similar names and there is an index in the back listing each one. It makes it easy to find blocks. But mostly, I just love the ease of flipping through it and dreaming of my next project. I love it.
The 2 EQ8 books that I got recently look impressive! Will definitely be using them.
However, when I went looking for the “buzz saw” block, (made with HSTs), it was nowhere to be found!
Seems that such a basic block would have been added by now.
