clubEQ Quilts made by members
February 1999

Please, be patient!  35 quilts are on this page, so it will take a little time to load.

Thank you to the 32 participants who contributed to the club EQ February Challenge.

February -- Y2K quilt
The challenge for February was to make a quilt layout for the year 2000.
You could design a quilt with 2000 pieces. You could collect blocks with names
that are significant to this event, in your opinion. You could design something original.
Something funky maybe. Futuristic. Whatever.

You could do something that has nothing obvious to do with the millennium other than the subtle,
distinguishing character that all the blocks together add up to 2000 pieces. No more.
(How many pieces are in the Jane Stickle quilt? You could make it king size and then some!)
No one says you have to make this quilt.
So if the size turns out to be as large as a football field
in order to get in all you desire to get your point across, who cares?

MM=2000
2000 half-square triangles made up
of scrapbag pieces.
Each block is 50 pieces,
and there are 40 blocks in the quilt.
MM in Roman numerals means 2000.

M&Ms for the Millennium
After realizing that MM in
Roman numerals was 2000,
So...M&Ms...
Blocks done in Applique Draw.

This quilt will be made for the 1999 Quiltfest in Boerne, Texas.
It will be a signature/raffle quilt.
The snowball blocks & the white in the rails will be for signatures.
You must pay $1.00 to sign name on quilt and the names will be
kept until the first Saturday in May, 2000, when the winner of
the quilt will be drawn.

Each block has 25 pieces.
80 blocks x 25 pieces = 2,000 pieces in quilt.

Stairway to the Stars

All I thought of for the year 2000 was stars, stars and more stars-
celebrating with stars.

Millennium Star - a star to guide us to the future

Millennium starts with M.
"How many "M"s can you find in the quilt?
There are 2,000 pieces.

I think the y2k brouhaha is much ado about nothing.  Life will pretty
much be the same as in the previous millennia.  My quilt depicts
fire, earth and some of earth's creatures, surrounded by water and air,
which I predict to be as much of our future as they are of the past.

Quilt contains 2,000 charms.
The lighter squares in the 9-patch blocks are for signature squares that
I've collected from y2k swappers all over the world.

FarPoint Galaxy - for exploring space in the next millennium

I designed the central block, FarPoint for the 1st episode of  "Star Trek,
the Next Generation" (TV show).
The quilt is partially done in the "real" world.

Another Message from Hal
(y2k is not my fault)

2,000 squares in the center of quilt.
I am a fan of the movie "2001...a Space Odessey".  If you are a fan of
"2001..." the quilt might make some sense!
If you aren't a fan...then it won't make any sense, whatsoever!  ;-)

Rose Flower Garden

2,000 pieces

At first I planned to do a Charm quilt using the twist block with all the
charms I've gotten from Internet swaps.  But, as I was doing the design,
I looked at my vase of live roses next to my terminal and decided to
do a rose garden instead.  I am planning to put pictures of my children in the center diamond of each block.
I plant roses and flowers, outside with them, as they play.

2,000 pieces

I love scrap quilts and have always wanted to do a pineapple.
I'll use all of the Internet swap charms for this one.

I'm just about sick of millennium quilts, but the M&M's were cute, so I decided to try. Since Barb Vlack used the M's, I decided to use four 500s (D's) instead. I didn't count the pieces in mine, so that has no significance. I looked through Blockbase for a block, and couldn't resist the one called Footprints through the sands of Time.

Martha  Arkansas
ask for Feb99y2k.prj

My design has 10 x 10 blocks of 20 pieces each, making 2000 pieces!

The movement in the design and the rainbow colours stand for the turmoil the world is in today and for the commotion about the millennium-problem.

I work with computers all day and have to deal with the Y2K problem on a regular basis. I have had it up to here with Y2K and am retiring to my log cabin (fictional) until it is all over. It is an orderly area and the around it is also orderly and restful. The further you get away from it, the more chaotic things become. But it's OK because I am going to be as far away from the chaos as possible.

This quilt is for the year 2000, to commemorate my 60th birthday (hence, 60
Blazing Star candles), the Olympic Games being held in my home city and the MillenniumBug, which I hope will not cause me any difficulties.

This quilt was planned to help use up all those small scraps I seem to collect. Never thought about a Y2K quilt & using 2,000 pieces until it was mentioned on a quilt list.  I did find out from designing this in EQ that having a strong connecting line throughout the quilt would give it some definition.  Otherwise, it would be a jumbled mess.

2000 M&M Pieces

The pieces of the M&M blocks total exactly 2000, that is why I added the
solid black blocks in the 2 corners of the quilt.

Patti  West Virginia

The center white square of the block is for a signature block, making this a friendship block.

Ethel  Oregon
ask for millen.prj

I used a traditional block "World Without End" as my theme block. I had to revamp some of the words I had first used, as I later recognized it in part of someone's signature and was unable to contact her to get permission to use similar wording.

Hope to complete this king-sized quilt by New Year's Eve.
The block is a variation of Going to Chicago. I'm exclusively using scraps - from previous quilting projects as well as clothing and home decorative items (curtains, placemats, pillows, etc.) that I've made in the past.
Set in various orientations, the overall design is intended to resemble computer circuitry boards, the Y2K culprits  :-)
I designed the border fabric in EQ to mimic one I've created in reality - it's dyed, overdyed, discharged, and stamped; the background reads as navy blue, and "2000" appears in multiple hues in the gold family- with some small scattered stars.
