Glad to hear you’re having a good time with EQ. I started with EQ6 and am now using EQ8. Like you, I really have fun playing with it. I’ll never sew all the designs I’ve drawn but they’ve really helped me to get a better understanding of color and contrast, as well as developing my personal style. As you mentioned, it can be a challenge and I also feel it’s a good brain exercise. Check out the On Point Quilter on YouTube. She has lots of tutorials.
