Thank you for the coloring page. I drew it up in EQ8 and started playing. Since it is so easy to switch out blocks in EQ8
coloring was not all I did. Here is my first creation. This is all so much fun HelenW

Was it hard to do this on eq8 I have it and tried but it’s a bit above me at this stage lol,lol p.s. love your ideas

Quarter page coloring is a little bigger. Barbara could you ask Lynn if she minds my posting this.
If she mind, please delete or tell me to delete. If she does not mind, I think it being a little bigger
might help people coloring. HelenW

It's fine, Helen.

That is so lovely of you to do this and thank you very much.

Jill B. Thank you for the compliments. I drew it up using Custom Layout.
I based the blocks on 5 inches since Lynn said that most were that size.
The custom size layout was set at 80 by 80. I drew up the blocks from
the photos of the blocks in Lynn Wilder's blog. Then I used a ton of copy
and paste, and rotates. I set the grid snap for custom at 1/2 inch to make it easy to align the blocks. The center block I
drew up as a 20 inch block and just dragged into the middle. It takes a
lot of time, but if you do it over several days it is not hard.Once you have it done
it is easy to play with color palettes. I get the white line drawing by using Swap Color in the fabrics tab and swap white for all the colors.
