I always used to design my quilts with pencil and paper and there was always a fair amount of scribbling out, crossing through, punching of the keys on the calculator and the odd swear word. I now use EQ8 and the process is fairly similar, but there are less bits of paper, less swearing and I am overwhelmed with design choices. Overwhelmed in a good way, a great way. I seriously love EQ8!
Before I started work on the design I spent some time importing the fabrics I had to work with from the Lewis and Irene website so that I could easily work through some design option.
