I) Electric Quilt 7 

Dream, Design, and Create! EQ7 is the most user-friendly quilt pattern 

design software yet! Create instant blocks including a kaleidoscope 

block and fancy star block. From simple stars to complex compasses, 

drawing blocks keeps getting easier. Import your own fabric scans, 

crop, rotate, and use in your quilt in only a matter of minutes. Drag 

and drop blocks, fabric, and photos from all the palettes to all layers 

of the quilt worktable. Watch as your blocks snap to the custom set 

grid at the size you choose. Use circular and square symmetries to 

create beautiful new images. Then, turn them into your very own fabric 

design. See magic happen as you turn everyday photos into quilt art 

images—or turn any photo into an instant patchwork photo quilt. Print 

patterns, fabric yardage, and photos. Use over 5,000 copyright- free 

block patterns.
