Default Help with making pattern from drawing?

Greetings! I traditionally do block pieced and appliqued quilts, but wanted to try something new. I have a paper design/picture that is not geometric, i.e., it is not easy to measure and rotary cut. It fits on an 8 1/2" by 11" piece of paper, and I want to scale it up to be a pattern for a quilt: not blocks, but one single image. I am not sure what the best way to accomplish this is; I thought it might be possible through Electric Quilt 7, but I don't seem to see an option to input a scan and scale it. Is simple geometry (measuring and proportionally increasing size of pieces) the best way to go or is there some trick to this of which I am not yet aware?

Many thanks in advance for your guidance!
