It's much cheaper to play with paper than the fabric! Regardless, your quilt will be beautiful. I've never seen a pineapple quilt that isn't wonderful. Have fun (and do think about getting EQ - it's terrific).
Thank you. Is EQ a software that needs frequent updates once you purchase it? Or is it good for a long time before you need to update (I have no patience for that.)
