Thanks, I think I've decided to go with the same color center square!
As for whether EQ8 is user friendly - I purchased the EQ8 workbook and simply dedicated the time to go through each chapter and I'm navigating through the program pretty well. It also takes practice so I've designed tons of blocks and then a custom quilt and each time I'm much more confident. It took me about 10 minutes to make the Irish Chain layout but that isn't a very intricate design. If you wish to design blocks and/or quilts yourself it's an absolute must IMHO.
There's a great thread on this forum dedicated to EQ7/8 with tons of great dialogue, tips, etc... Good luck!
