I love auditioning blocks in EQ! I can easily change the layout, see how the blocks look if set on-point, add sashing, see how the blocks play together, and import fabrics if I am working with a specific line. The list is endless!

Designing quilts in EQ8 couldn't be easier. Everything I need is at my finger tips, I can audition blocks, settings, borders & fabrics with the click of a mouse. I look forward to designing many more quilts using EQ.

I love fabric scaling feature, which makes it so easy to work with the fabric companies and magazines, so they can see exactly how the quilt will look like when it is finished.
