Creating Quilt Mockups - Five ideas for how to color your quilts to help with picking out fabrics

There are actually quite a few different methods you can use to test run different color schemes and fabric collections in your quilts before you even purchase the fabric you'll actually end up using on your quilt.

I love making digital quilt mockups and have been thinking of getting either EQ8 or Affinity Designer for this purpose - curious if you have a favorite of one over the other. I have an online quilt shop so would love the ability to easily create some simple classic quilts and then easily switch the fabrics out to showcase different fabric lines as they become available. In your opinion would EQ8 or Affinity Designer be best for this? Can you globally change one fabric to another with Affinity Designer?
