First Impression: Quilt Design Wizard

I bought a copy of Quilt Design Wizard by The Electric Quilt Company. First of all let me say "phew!" that it installed and worked on Windows Vista despite the package saying it works on XP. (As it happens, the website does say it works on both XP and Vista, but still I wish I'd checked before I tore into the package and made it unreturnable...)

Considering I was playing with it without going through the lessons or reading up much on how to use it, I was able to create a couple of interesting designs right off the bat. One frustration was not being able to find solid fabric choices, but again I haven't finished looking at all the instructions. And I also had trouble changing the border after initially picking mitered border. Still, it seems to have a bunch of interesting fabric choices and many interesting blocks. I was able to download some extra projects from the website, but thinking back on it, I may not have completely installed them, so that's something else to check. I've got my eye on Electric Quilt 6, but that will have to wait for more solvent times. In the meantime, I can have some fun with this. Too bad there isn't a function to click and have the quilt pop up in real life (dream on...)
