I have been wanting to do a stack and whack type cross quilt for a while now but haven’t quite figured out what fabrics I wanted to use. Well today I was playing around in EQ6 and imported several of the new MODA fabric swatches. This is what I came up with…
I love the browns and blues in the PURE line, and with all the guys in my house I could use a more masculine colored quilt…of course it probably wouldn’t turn out exactly the same as this one, but it would be similar. I would want to make sure the colors are spread out a little better in the real quilt.
I have a charm pack that I would try to incorporate into the quilt. So it might have a few squares here and there with 2-4 small crosses. Then I could use what was left for the back. I would use 2 Layer Cakes for this project that I haven’t ordered yet. Wanted some opinions before I did…so what do you think??? Yes? No?

I agree with you, Rene. I love the browns and blues in the pure line. Great choice. I'am sure it will be a great quilt.
Happy Qulting!
Gorgeous!
I think I want an EQ (wait... I know I do). ;)
Love the pure and I love this look... BUT -- if it was me, I'd throw in a few coordinating solids too. I've got a Kona Color card if you want me to tell you which ones match (I've got some Pure on hand too). :)
Looks good. Good thinking on using the EQ to figure out how it would look.
That looks great! I haven't paid much attention to Pure but thanks to you, I'll be taking another look.
I love the PURE line too. The browns and blues go so well together.
I just received two charm packs of PURE and now I like it even more.
I dig it! Go for it!
Great line--love the colors!!!
But I want that "stash" you got in the mail the other day--wow--how delightful!!!!
Hugs, Di
Yes...Yes...Yes! It is so hard to find a quilt pattern & fabric that is not "too girly". This one is perfect.
Can't wait to see it,

I love to see other people playing with EQ. I just got EQ7 for my birthday this summer and I'm excited every time I get a chance to use it. But I definitely need to add more fabrics! I haven't branched out to the EQ website much yet but I think that they have a lot to offer there.
It looks good Rene! That line of fabric is just so calm and relaxing! Have fun! :0)
Loooove it!
looks good, but i agree with a commentor above that you should mix some solids in as well. great for the guys in your house!
