Thanks to both of you!
Gay, I had tried to use the Notecard before but couldn't figure out how to get past the first field, below the red line, especially since those fields were grayed out. I tried again after your post and realized the tab key would get me down there. Now I am able to fill in and attach notecards! The search function worked for me in terms of block names, but a search on notecards did not pick up my newly attached cards (even though I pinned them; thanks again for that info!). Not sure why.
And Nan, I'm going to go through your steps this afternoon as I would really like to be able to write directly on the quilts. I was thinking there must be a way to write on at least one of the quilt layers, but was clueless about where to start. Now I know what to do!
EQ7 has been one of the slowest learning experiences I have ever had. I am so grateful that finally, after so many years, I can actually create some basic quilts on it.
