    Having just watched the latest show, this one seems to be crying out for a multiple border treatment in order to 'contain' all those diverse blocks.

          I really like the extra blocks you've added. The black/gray & white combo is great with all the color and activity in the other blocks.

          I had wondered what was happening with these blocks. I'm so glad you shared!!

              #3's my choice too. It is amazing how well all those blocks play together. What a treasure.

                good choice...I like the way you arranged the black and white in opposing corners. Dot

                  Alex,
                  whats wrong with the resizing??? Do you use Iphoto on your mac?
                  When you export, You have a selection on size. Click small and export. Once that's done you can send it to photobucket. Well at least that's how i do it. If there is a more direct way, I don't know because I didn't take the classes yet.

                      OH make sure you remember what file it goes to when you press export. Theres a few time i forgot to look and it took me a while to find it. ops:
                      There is definitely a learning curve to the Mac.

                        And you can end up with 2, (Well on mine I can.) One the original biggie and the smaller one. :wink:

                        Glad to see you're getting the hang of it though. It makes the forum more enjoyable to 'see'. I hope Bob can do an easy one on here though.


                        It's great seeing your quilt through different eyes!

                          Hi Alex, I hope I don't throw you a curve, but, the pinwheels are still distracting, it reads as a sampler that is too busy. Debbie, or maybe the black is too bold.

                            Can you put up a border fabric so we can see what effect that will have? Hopefully a solid color will tone down the black and white effect of the pinwheels?

                            I'm checking in many times a day just to see the progress of this subject! LOL

                              I like it, except for the white in the flying geese, could they be a black and white fabirc that is more white than black (hope that makes sense).
