Hi,
I have EQ8. I've gotten as far as designing a couple of quilts, but honestly, its been so long ago, I'm back to square one.

What I want to do right now, is basically design a quilt in EQ8 that I have the pattern for so that I can change the size and put my fabric choices in to get a visual. My problem is that it is designed in Rows using a trapezoid shaped block with adjoining triangles. One other row is triangles alternating with offsetting triangles, i.e. one up/one down, with a sashing strip thrown in. Can I design a block that is a trapezoid and contains smaller trapezoid piecing? I was thinking of doing a horizontal layout, but if I can't design a trapezoid block I'm stuck. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction. The pattern uses templates for cutting the trapezoids and triangles, but they are all basically using 30 and 60 degree angles.

I've been searching around the EQ site and have most of their books for the software, but can't find where my question is addressed anywhere. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kathy
