I know it is probably a great program and I'm just complaining because I don't know it. It just seems to be way more complicated than it needs to be to figure out how to do something. Why can't I right click on a block, or something as simple as that, and tell it the block is 12" square, or otherwise select the dimensions?
Grrrrrrr....
I'm not sure I am getting what you want to do right but I have EQ5 and it may be differant. I go to a new block and work out how I can fit into the grid the quilt block I want to use. You can change the size of the quilt block. Mine I use 8" but you can change it to 12" I'd have to look at it to tell you where that is. Probabaly in the layout.
