My husband is a genius! He came up with measurements for an isosceles triangle, I cut out 4 pieces of scrap fabric, sewed them together, (for just half of the skirt as a trial) and i do believe this will work! :) So much for my computer-challenged-skills, eh? Thanks again for all of the help! I think one of my problems with the block in EQ was the angles of the sections of the octagon...they weren't equal, and I couldn't figure out how to make them all the same size.
Lots of snow today, so trekking to the gym, then an afternoon snowed in with my fabric!

Have you contact Electric Quilt directly? Be sure to register your program on their website first. Send them an e-mail and they usually get back to you with an answer the same day. I had problems with getting the monthly fabrics to work and the woman was extremely nice in getting the smallest problem corrected. Give them a try.

I would say most likely NOT that you will be able to. I was disappointed when I was only able to have a small number of strips on making a Bargello. But otherwise, I find a way to work around things. GOOD LUCK !! Most of the users on this site have the newest program which is EQ7 but there are a few of us that are still using EQ5. PM me if you have any other questions. I will try my best to help you.
