Our favorite "approachable" software for designing quilt patterns!

EQ8 comes pre-loaded with tons of block designs and quilt layouts, and lets you create infinite different quilt designs.

Whether you stick to the basics of combining existing block designs into a layout and changing the colors, or go deeper into creating your own original block designs (it even supports designing your own foundation paper pieced blocks!), EQ8 makes designing quilt patterns much easier.

You can add your own fabrics in to use in the quilt design, generate and export quilt images, and it it can even calculate the yardage needed!

There are even more features included, see the full list of features.
