Like most of us, I am neither a computer genious, nor a professional quilter. I don't know about you, but that kind of investment isn't workable if I'm only making an occasional quilt.
Now there are computer software programs designed for quilters, such as EQ7 that cost around $175- to assist in the process. The old fashioned way of designing your quilt was to sit down at the table with your graph paper and colored pencils.two days later, complete with cramping fingers, your paper masterpiece won't look anything like your final quilt will look. I graphed out my quilt design and still had no clue if I liked my pattern or not (the graphed design is the image next to the actual fabric scanned design- What a difference!). It's the quilter's version of writer's block, with so many design and layout choices to make all at once, that it is nearly impossible to picture it all in your mind. You can make virtual quilt blocks using the actual fabrics you are considering for your quilt, and arrange them into the pattern that appeals to you, all before having to cut, stitch, rip out, or re-sew a single fabric quilt block.ĭesigning a quilt, selecting the fabrics, and figuring out where to place the blocks can stump even an accomplished quilter.
