I have EQ 8, but I’ve never taken the time to sit down and learn how to use it. I keep thinking someday I will, but it just hasn’t happened yet.
For now, I’m still old school and draw my plans out on graph paper if I’m not using a pattern.
These are a few recent projects.
And, the next one I’m sketching out tonight to begin soon.
Dollar Tree is a great place to buy graph paper, but not all locations stock it.
Recently, I found a source online to download 1/2″ graph paper, which I used to graph the individual blocks for the idea I’m working on.
You can click the download button below for the pdf.
There are are other sizes of graph paper available to download from their website http://print-graph-paper.com

I am a graph paper fan, too. I have a sort of planner notebook that is graph paper. Good way for me to have room to experiment and keep designs together. Yay for the Old School ways.
