Easy draw is great for patchwork
Basic lines have to go to outside edges. And think about your divisions before setting the size. Ex. For 9 patch, set size at easily divisions of 3 - 6 inches with grid at 12, 12 and next boxes at 24, 24. For 5 inch, use 10, 10, 20, 20.
Patchdraw is good when you want to use just applique shapes.
I use both to do a pieced background then add shapes on top.
