I bought EQ7 and have used it to make 2 quilt tops already, and I am designing 2 more from my stash that I have scanned into my EQ7 libary. I spent close to $200 for it but it has saved me a lot of time and energy. It is not that hard to use and I love using my stash to see what my quilt will look like before I cut out all the pieces. It's been great fun.
