Transform a classic block into a garden of stunning quilt designs—with a dazzling 3D twist!
Are you ready to elevate your computerized quilting skills and bring a breathtaking floral dimension to your next project? Join us for this exclusive IQ Summit course where you'll master the art of designing intricate line patterns to turn simple Snowball Blocks into gorgeous, four-petaled quilted flowers!
This course is a deep dive into the creative and technical process of pattern design, specifically tailored for the unique geometry of a block-set quilt. You will walk away with the skills to confidently design and place 5 brand new, exquisite petal designs that combine to form beautiful flowers in your blocks.
Expert Skills You Will Master:
- The Advanced Line Pattern Concept:
Go beyond the edges! Learn how to design a line pattern where the start and end points are intentionally placed inside the design area, ensuring a flawless, continuous-looking flower when four 'petals' are joined at the 3D center of the block. - Building with Geometric Shapes:
Discover how to use simple and complex geometric shapes to quickly and effectively build intricate and professional-looking line patterns from scratch. - Flawless Design Placement:
Master the Line Pattern feature in your software to accurately place your new 'petal' designs into the four segments of the Snowball Block, centering perfectly around the 3D Bow Tie, - Precision Manipulations with Distort:
Learn the powerful combination of the Distort tool and the visual aid of the needle crosshair to subtly manipulate and fine-tune your patterns, ensuring they fit perfectly and aesthetically within each unique block segment.
🎁 The Bonus: Full Quilt Pattern Included in course! 🎁

🔥 The Exciting Piecing Twist: 3D Bow Tie Centers! The piecing pattern you'll receive is not a flat design! The center of every Snowball block—where the four petals converge—uses the dynamic 3D Bow Tie technique to make the flower centers literally pop off the quilt top, adding incredible depth and dimension. This unique piecing approach makes your custom quilting designs even more spectacular!
