I've done some basic quilt design using Word and the Snipping tool.
If there's a lot of repetition, I then cut and paste the units, rotating as/if needed.
Not the best, but gives me enough of an idea, as to whether something is doable or not.
Good Luck with the EQ8 people!
I don't design quilts with Excel, but I use it to figure yardage. EQ doesn't always do the best job with that. I'm usually making a quilt using stash fabrics, and I'm always either working without a published pattern or modifying one.
