The pattern is called No Diamonds In The Sky and I bought it online. It's like a Broken Star but with triangles instead of diamonds. Very easy to do, all HSTs, it's just putting it together is tricky to make sure each section is the right colors going the right way.
You can probably import fabric into EQ5. I have EQ4 and it can. Sometimes the scale is WAY off depending on the size of the imported fabric picture. Thumbnails are usually OK but at the least you get the colors. I always clear out the fabrics in the default sketchbook and then add my fabrics so I'm not dealing with all the unwanted ones too.

I like this one too! :D I had to change the colors a little bit to match the yardage of what I ordered. I can do this with the same fabric though it comes up with 1/4 yd more needed of the beige background. Maybe I can come up with a small design in some of the solid areas to make up for that if it really comes out that way. There are bits of fabric left over, 1/8 to 1/4 yd of 2 of the blues and one brown.

Please just put it aside for a while. I think it does need more borderS, probably more than just a 2nd one, because the center is so big. Sorry, I know I'm not the one doing the work --------- but you've done such a GREAT job so far, and I'd hate to see you stop now - just because you're 'bordered' at at the moment. Please don't throw anything at me :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:
Re the new designs: I like 'em all, so order more fabric and make all of them [can you see me ducking?] :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Aren't I helpful :lol: :lol:
