Did you mean www.mosaicquilt.com ? I bought the Quilted Photo Express 2.0 - and love it! You can say I want 12 fabrics, and so many squares per row, then play with the softtware after you download your pic, and it will print a list of how much fabric to buy, and it prints a pattern, do #1 fabric here, #2 there sort of thing. It is a amazing, but if you put the pattern (just a bunch of squares, with numbers in them) on the wall, and stand back - you can see the photo! I made the mistake and wanted a pretty detailed photo, so made the pattern with lots of squares, and got distracted by other things that were not so detailed (I think my quilt had 7,000 1 1/2" squares). So, I would suggest 1- go for less detail and 2- buy the book too. After I cut all those squares, and began fusing them, I saw Tammie Bowser on Sewing with Nancy, and she did it in strips, and only cut when it came to a place with different fabric! So, instead of 23 little squares in a row of the same fabric, she just had one simple cut. Wow, would have saved alot of time. But, the software is super easy to use, and the shopping list and pattern are fantastic!
