I purchased EQ8 a week ago and wow, does this program do a lot for relatively little money. I've been using tutorials on their EQ blog, which has many, many lessons and tutorials! You can use this program to make t-shirt quilts which have different sized blocks depending on the t-shirts that are used. I used this tutorial to make my first quilt, a small wall hanging. The program gives me printouts of the yardage and rotary cutting instructions, and I use those to then write the pattern. The process to write the pattern takes a lot of time and thought but it is so much fun!
The wall hanging will be 17"x 24" when finished.I finished the quilt in EQ8 and went right to the fabric shop to buy fabrics to make the quilt! I'm busy writing the pattern this week. As soon as I make the quilt, testing the instructions I've written I plan on making the pattern a pdf file and will post it here on my blog as a free download.
Update April 24: I have finished making the Star Block! It measures 15-1/2" x 15-1/2".

I love this wall hanging. What size is it going to be? It would look great hanging in my shop's front window. I'll watch for the download!
Hi Susan! The wall hanging will be 17"x 24" finished. Thank you for asking! I'll edit my post to include that info.
