Question about designing quilts using certain size blocks
#1
Hi,
I am making t-shirt quilts using templates that are based on increments of 4 inches like 8x8,4x8,16x16,16x12 etc.
What computer program will allow me to layout my quilt blocks after I know how many I have. I basically have so many 4x4 blocks so many 4x8etc.
It is very difficult and time consuming to use graph paper. I know what size quilt I want but I need to arrange the blocks to make it all fit together and would love to use a computer program to make it easier.
Here is a t-shirt quilt I made...I would like to make the plotting process a lot easier that cutting out little pieces that represent blocks and putting them on a graph:)
Thanks,
Jen

EQ would let you do that very easily.
Though if you are on a budget ... graph paper really is the way to go. Sorry.
You could also cut out the various sizes of blocks you have ... on a smaller scale. Then draw on them and then place them. When finished take a picture and you'll have it for reference.

Thanks I just bought eq7 from someone on this board. I used graph paper last time and cut out little blocks to place because i had to keep moving things around till it all fit.It was a huge mess and super time consuming. Thanks for the advice:)
