No, the EQ companion is separate from the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt book. That book has a CD in the back that contains pdf templates for each of the blocks plus pdf layout diagrams for different sizes of quilts.
The book has assembly diagrams for each of the blocks and you could put this together using only the book.
EQ just makes it easier in several ways - keeping track of the fabrics you've used, how much you need, auditioning fabrics, providing templates, rotary cutting or foundations for printing on paper, etc.
I'm afraid I've become an EQ junkie. :( ;)
