I used EQ7 to design the layout and give me the fabric requirements. It also gave me the templates for the set-in triangles which was terrific. I think I can honestly say that I love EQ7!
Thank you for the reply! I haven't heard of EQ7 but I'm going to check it out right now!! I've only been quilting for a year, so much is still new to me. I've seen those block a day calendars and considered putting it on my Christmas list.
Thanks again, and congrats on a beautiful quilt.
