I have quiltbuilder, 123quilt, and just ordered quiltpro. I really enjoy mine a lot and use them all the time! I even bought copies of them for my mom! Who needs computer games, I have my quilt desing programs!!!
For those of you asking what they are for, it is a software program that you get to design a quilt on, you can choose your sizes, your blocks (some you can desing your blocks), choose some fabrics and get the sizes to cut, etc...well worth the money (no matter which one you buy) if you like to do your own patterns!
Just for fun, you can go to 123quilt.com and download a free 30 day trial of 123quilt to play with. I don't think you can print with the trial, but it is fun all the same!!!

Quilt software will help you design your own quilts, but I have used it to layout blocks and sashing and the software will tell you how much fabric you will need, for top and backing. It will even print out templates in what ever size block you need. You can change the block size with one click. It will tell you the size of the quilt and you can add or subtract borders to make your quilt the size you need.
It can be very helpful.

So, you can pick block types, colors, etc. and it'll tell you how much fabric to buy? IE, I want to do a double star quilt, twin size. I have no idea how much fabric that would be. This software would tell me?
