    I have EQ 7. Have designed several quilts. Am working on making the latest one and hope to submit it for judging at our local quilt guild quilt show.

    I've thought about buying EQ 7 but... well, I'm a procrastinator and...

    I'm sure it's a wonderful tool/toy. If you have a hard time deciding on a quilt design and/or fabrics, does having EQ7 make it easier or harder to decide?

    Does the time you spend designing always result in an actual quilt, or is it possible (likely?) that you could spend a whole LOT of time just designing and re-designing and never actually ... sewing anything?

    So far, I have only designed what I PLAN on sewing. However, I can design much faster than I can make a quilt and so I have a dozen or so quilts that are waiting to be made!

    I have both. I can't imagine designing without a quilting program. QuiltPro is by far my fav. It will also import fabrics easily.
