    I'll bet you would get more answers if you made the question your topic. Not dumb ;-)

    EQ6 is a Computer Program for designing quilts. It's a pretty cool program. I got it for Christmas and have taken a class on how to use it. I have only played on it a little but there is a lot you can do on there.

    It's ElectricQuilt, and it's a little expensive. If you google it you'll find it online.

    I use mine a lot :D:D:D I have saved a lot of money on patterns as I can make my own, (the program paid for itself in the two years I have had it) I love to be able to adjust the size of a block/border/sashing/quilt size with a couple of clicks... I can print out templates, foundations, rotary cutting guides and fabric requirements. I am totally sold on this program :D:D:D

    JoAnn's carries the "beginners" version (not sure of the correct title-Quilt Wizard?) in their quilt section... I waited till 50% off on quilt items (they have these sales on a semi regular basis) The original price is $29.99 so it was $15 on sale....
    I love mine and use it on regular basis. I will upgrade it one of these days when I get extra cash. For designing a quilt or just to "play" it is VERY user friendly!!

    Enjoy! :)

    I also use the Quilt Wizard software and find it very useful. I find it easier than drafting on graph paper. However it's a little limited on what you can do so I'll probably update eventually.
