My amazing map from my EQ6 quilting software has turned out less amazing than I had anticipated. I woke up this morning very reassured because I knew I had a plan, all I needed to do was execute. 
What a myth! I composed all day long on my wall, this after having spent all day yesterday composing on EQ6 and photo shop! I recorded various possibilities with each change of fabric. This was very helpful when I transferred the images to photo shop to have a look at them cropped and on a gray scale.
One of the reasons I wasn't able to execute my plan according to the composition done on EQ6 is that I didn't have all of the chosen fabrics. When I tried to substitute for the fabric I had, the color wasn't right. Still, I feel the time I spent composing with the software was worth it. It really helped me see "the big picture." I had a value composition where I was able to forget the details.

En francais
J'ai essaye un logiciel de quilting qui s'appelle Electric Quilt. Apres pas mal d'heures d'apprentissage, j'ai reussi a faire une composition qui me plaisait. Je me suis reveillee le lendemain, rassuree qui j'avais enfin un plan. La composition pour moi est l'aspect le plus difficile de la creation, je cherche toujours a le simplifier. Helas, mon enthousiasme n'etait que de courte duree. Quand j'ai voulu reproduire sur mon mur de composition ce que j'avais fait sur le logiciel, ca ne donnait pas la meme chose. C'est vrai que je n'avais pas tous les meme tissus, et les peintures que j'avais importees dans le logiel etaients un peu deformees, j'ai relu apres comment il faut faire... Alors j'ai recommence a composer sur le mur. Mais cette fois-ci j'ai pris des photos de beaucoup de compositions differentes, je les ai ensuite mises sur Photoshop ou je les ai recadrees et mises au niveaux gris. Ca m'a enormement facilite le travail. Aussi, je recommencerai avec EQ6 parce que c'est vraiment bien de voir "the big picture", et ne pas se perdre dans les details. J'ai actuellement 3 compos en noir et blanc, je vais en choisir une a executer aujourd'hui.
