I recently downloaded a free shareware quilt design program: Quilt Assistant. I haven't experimented with it much yet but I think it might do the trick for me at the moment. I prefer to design my own quilts/blocks and it can be done on this program. I doesn't have any fabrics stored as some of the way more expensive programs do. However, when I get going on this program I may take the time to copy and past fabric images on to a word document so I can use the "browse" feature insert fabrics I might want to use into the design. Anyway, for what its worth, there are alternatives to the pricier EQ7, etc. Foundation Factory is reasonably priced and you can demo it before you buy.
