If you have EQ5 or EQ6, Margaret J. Miller’s new Half-RECTANGLE Triangle shape will open a world of inventive design possibilities – now you can play with these designs in EQ. Combine AnglePlay™ blocks and layouts for quilts that look so complex, but are so easy to cut and sew.

Traditional Ohio Star using Half-Square Triangles
Modified Ohio Star using Half-Rectangle Triangles

Quick to cut – simple to sew – surprising effects!
The magic of AnglePlay™ quilts is the change in the angle of the diagonal seam as the grid unit changes from square to rectangular, and from one rectangle shape to another.

This EQ5 Companion CD includes:
* All 84 blocks from the AnglePlay™ Blocks book
* Bonus 225 additional AnglePlay™ blocks
* 18 new custom AnglePlay™ quilt layouts
* Over 600 fabrics in a new library
* A bonus palette of fabrics

Margaret J. Miller is the author of six books, and a studio quiltmaker who travels widely, giving lectures and workshops on color and design. She is known for her innovative work “changing the angle” in patchwork design, and is the inventor of the AnglePlay™ templates for rotary cutting the half-rectangle triangle shape. Margaret lives near Seattle, Washington.

* The block patterns cannot be printed directly from the CD. The block patterns, projects, and fabrics are installed into EQ5 or EQ6. Use EQ5 software or EQ6 software to print the patterns.

Simplicity is the keyword for this user-friendly, quilt design software. The program leads you step-by-step through the 1-2-3 process of design-print-sew. Start by selecting a layout style, bed size and block size then recolour, swop, flip or rotate blocks and add borders as you wish. When you are ready print out the fabric yardage estimates, rotary cutting charts and sewing instructions for each block. If you prefer templates or foundation piecing patterns, Quilt Design Wizard does those too!

Quilt Design Wizard doesn’t stop there. Information is included on everything from buying supplies and fabrics to assembly and quilting, to finishing and storing your quilt. Quilt Design Wizard does not offer the complete flexiblility of EQ5, but is nonetheless an excellent tool for both beginners and seasoned quilters who don’t have the time or necessity for a more complex program.
