Kwiltr, a lot of the modern versions of traditional quilts I have seen simply involve changing the coloration. One example are these double wedding rings quilts:

Other modern quilts are constructed very simply, or differently, from traditional quilts. A website with some modern quilts I like is this one:

In either case, you must first create a quilt layout in EQ. EQ itself comes with lots of different blocks you can use to create a quilt layout. There are some add-ons you can purchase for EQ that include complete quilt layouts, such as this one:

All of those things you pretty much need to do yourself. EQ is certainly capable of being used to design modern quilts, but it is not automatic. You might want to start by copying a simple modern pattern you like into EQ. What I did last week was re-create a pattern in EQ that I would really like to make up as a Christmas quilt some day. Some quilts are relatively easy to re-create, but some can be quite complex and difficult. Fortunately for me, I tend to prefer simple quilts.
