I usually see a quilt pattern that I like on the internet and then draw the design into EQ5. I had previous versions of EQ so once you learn how to use the program, it is much better than drafting (by the way, I took extensive drafting in college), Once you get the block drawn, you can make the block size anything you want with just a click of the mouse. Used copies of the program are normally easily found on eBay. EQ does allow ownership to be transferred as long as you have the program ID.
