Hi, I came up with a great design for a quilt but I have no artistic abilities in drawing.

I was wondering if anyone is up to a challenge of drawing a difficult quilt pattern.

I have published three patterns. I just draw them the old fashioned way...on graph paper. If I am not happy with the design, I just toss it.

I divide the design into little squares and then draw what is in the square.

I'm learning to use EQ7, have used Quilt Wizard, and there's always good ole graph paper to play on too.

PM me and I'll see what I can do! Designing is fun!

Yes I agree that designing is fun, if you do not want to use the graph paper you can always enlarge or reduce on any size grid you draw up yourself or on the photocopier.

Wish I had the time--love, love to design! And I draw about as well as I sing (you don't want to hear). I would love to help out, just can't right now. But, I'd like to see what you girls come up with.
