Penny,
I think you and I are soul sisters! My process for making a quilt is usually done backwards! I LOVE fabric, I know I am going to make a quilt and I have a theme in mind - baseball for grandson, flowers for grandma, etc...Then I go to the fabric store and ponder over all the fabrics I like. I select the ones I like and determine the main color/fabric. I have an acquired experience for estimating the yardage needed. So far all my quilts have turned out nicely!
If only I can get in the frame of mind to select the pattern 1st - then the fabrics - maybe I would use EQ. I have an opportunity to purchase an unused EQ6 from a friend at a reasonable price - except I have a MAC. I do have a portion of my laptop portioned off through Apple's Bootcamp. So I could use this on laptop.
My questions are: 1) Will I really use EQ; 2) Will I want to upgrade to EQ7 @ $89.99; and 3)Would I be happy with less expensive Quilt Pro? Suggestions and ideas from anyone are most appreciated!!
