The key to taking a design from an existing quilt or picture of one, is to analize it first to determine what the blocks were that were used.
Sometimes it is difficult to pick the blocks out of the finished quilt if they blend into the larger pattern. Most quilts use uniform size blocks, that is blocks that are the same size. Keeping that in mind try to pick out uniform size blocks before you start EQ7.
Unfortuantly, I can't download examples to this string, or at least I don't see how, so I can't show you what I mean.
As usual, I spoke befor I looked.

Thanks for your help. I looked at the download link and I was able to pick out the blocks. (that's a good teaching aid) I think my problem has been that I didn't declare a block size before I started. I can definitely pick out the block on this quilt so I'll measure it for size and try that.
