A Challenge Opportunity: Club EQ Monthly Challenge - Red/White Nine Patch

Every month Barb Vlack coordinates a fun Club EQ Challenge with a different theme.  These are great opportunities for new and experienced EQ Users to expand their skills, as well as for everyone to have fun.  It is also inspiring to see all of the entries in these monthly challenge.

This month (June) Barb is hosting a fun challenge with a red/white Nine Patch theme.  The possibilities are endless with how you can create a nine patch design and in this challenge you can also use another block.

If you are an EQ User, SewCalGal wants to encourage you to participate in the monthly Club EQ Challenge. And, as SewCalGal is hosting the Year of Red/White Quilt Challenges, it just seemed appropriate to give a shout out and encourage all EQ users to participate in the June Club EQ Challenge this month.

Here is an image of some of the entries for the June challenge so far, but don't forget you have till the end of June to submit "your" entry.

SewCalGal is curious.  If you are use EQ software and have ever participated in an EQ Club Challenge, or if you are planning to join the fun with this challenge, I'd love to hear your thoughts.  Admittedly, I'm quite fond of these challenges and have seen many participants develop their EQ skills, as well as overal design skills, by participating. And, I'd love to hear you are one of such participants, or that you are interested in joining the fun.

I am making a needlebook out of red and white fabrics, can I enter it in the Red and White challenge, or is that to small? Thanks.

Mara - all of the events in the Year of Red and White "Quilt" Challenges doesn't care about size, but the entries do need to be quilt. Red/White "craft" items don't qualify. Your needlebook case sounds like it will be beautiful, but if it is what I'm thinking I don't think that fits under the intent of this challenge for "quilts". Sorry.
