What is Quilt Assistant?
Computer Quilt Design Programs Free
QuiltAssistant is free design-software that can help you to turn your photos into quilts. Rather than the traditional approach of breaking up the photo into little squares ('watercolor style') it allows you to divide the photo into pieces of arbitrary size and shape.
On completing your design, you can print templates including seam allowances.
A picture is worth a thousand words:
But Wait, There's More! You can also use QuiltAssistant to quickly draft more traditional quilt blocks not based on any particular image. The software helps you by making use of the symmetry present in most blocks: for every line you draw, the software can automatically complete the symmetrical parts of the design for you:
Free Quilting Software
You can also use QuiltAssistant to make your own paper piecing patterns, and even export your quilt and block designs to Electric Quilt!
What Quilt Assistant is NOT
QuiltAssistant is not designed to be a cheap alternative to commercial software like Electric Quilt or Quilt-Pro. It is not geared toward the design of complete block-based quilts, nor does it have libraries of blocks or fabrics to play with. Beyluxe registration. Instead, it focuses on specific tasks like turning photos into quilts and quickly drafting quilt blocks or pacer piecing patterns.

My son fixed me up with a free Bargello design program when he was home for Christmas. It has been fun and challenging. I am not really good at computers and I switched from a Mac to a PC at the same time. Lots of new stuff to learn!!
But I did figure out a Bargello I liked. I have designed Bargellos before, but then I just sort of made them up as I went. This time I just created what I wanted and then punched, print instructions. Pretty neat, though I did learn a few things I will do differently..like not so many small pieces next time.
Anyway, here is where to find the design program if you are interested. I had never used any kind of a design program before so it took a lot of playing for me to figure anything out. But if I can, anyone can.

Here is the first 1/4 of the Bargello I designed. I have a LONG way to go, but I was ready for a challenge, and this one sure is. I like it so far, and I sure hope I Love it when it is done..
