    Most of the stuff I've done with EQ has been traditional type quilts - blocks, sashing, etc, and then printed out the templates or the rotary cutting instructions.

    Geez, I really hate sounding like a commercial - the only thing I have invested in EQ is money :lol: :mrgreen: but the more I use this program the more I think it's the only thing you need.

    Have a problem with math and can't figure the size to make templates when you change the block size? EQ does it for you....

    Wonder how to translate templates into rotary cutting? EQ does it for you....

    Wish you knew how much fabric you need to make a quilt of your own design? EQ figures it for you....

    I still have NOT done the lessons or studied the book.. I have downloaded all the monthly libraries.
    I just started playing around and came up with this - not sure I'd actually make this :roll: :wink: but once again I'm making a point (and once again some will get it others won't)

    Not too bad for my first attempt tho and I can see lots more where this one came from...
    This is supposed to be 67x67 when finished....

    if you love it - be my guest :thumbup:

    Oh, by the way, that's the Storm At Sea block done as a whole quilt with other blocks stuck in here and there, and fabrics used, etc

    The monthly libraries are all the current fabrics out there! So you can use the actual fabrics in your design and know exactly how your quilt will look.
    they have fabrics from all the way back to 2003....
    just go to the link and the page explains what you need to do:

    I have EQ5, 6 and 7. Just get lost in euphoria when I'm using them. The way I figure it, there is NO WAY I could ever sew all the quilts I'd love to make, so I make them virtually!! Put them in slideshow and watch them over and over, and of course, patting myself on my back all the while.

    Hi, I'm a big fan of EQ...changed a lot of original decisions after laying something out in EQ that was in my head!! Jeanne, let me give you one word of warning: Read the instructions very carefully about where to put those monthly fabrics when you download them. I thought it was a little tricky if you weren't paying attention. I love it!!
