It must be all that fussy attention to little details that appeals!!

Well I'm still in my 30's (by a hair) and figured out my smartphone just fine, but some stuff in EQ7 is still beyond me!
But to be fair, I haven't really TRIED to learn some of those things. I get so far and realize I don't know what to do next and it's just so much easier to go back to my faithful graph paper than it is to do the research to figure out what I'm missing within the software! So it's partially just laziness on my part, I can't entirely blame the software for how slowly I'm learning to use it.
But even with my partial understanding of the software, I love playing around in there. It's a lot of fun to design blocks and throw them into a quilt and play with rotations and color options with just a click. I am sure I've gotten my money's worth just in entertainment value, and I also HAVE successfully designed several quilts in there.
