I'm reasonably sure that EQ can do an overlay. All I can find is a block sized one, and not anything "freehand", but I'm 98% sure that's my deficiency at the moment, not that of the software. Baby steps.
I finally figured out how the custom layout worked last night.
I'm going to try a little more tomorrow to see if I can figure out how to do the "grout". The sashing ended up highlighting the "block" and less of the design, if that makes any sense? A blue motif could be interesting here instead of the browns too.
It also looks a lot less busy if I take up some space with borders - I'm not too crazy about that "yellow", but I'm not positive which way I want to change it):

I wonder if this one might be nicer as a lap quilt for now. I can save the blues and such for the bedroom to offset the wood. This one could offset the sage couches...
BTW: I was at my cousin's today. (She wore me right out!) Her Labyrinth pattern says about 12 yards. I'd say that EQ is accurate enough anyway. I also have 2 photos of a block she wants to figure out how to piece. I thought I'd see if EQ would help. It all helps me get to know the software so I can use it to plan.
