    Cindy D Usually the problems are that they photo is too large. Barbara Black said if you email the picture to your self
    at medium size. Drag that photo to you desk top on the computer and upload from there it will be an acceptable size.
    That works for me. I am using an iMac computer. Give it a try. HelenW

    I've finally got my blocks done. I'm not completely happy with the color combination of my blocks. I think I'm slightly off on the colors, but I know I can be a bit picky. I think the contrast is good though.

      I'm not sure why the photos aren't loading in. They are the correct size, but they won't open.

      This is the finished top for a little girl. I applied the color theories that were discussed in the first 4 classes and was eager to start this project. I really think the value lesson helped the outcome of how this quilt came out.
      BTW...I am having trouble finding lesson 5 as a recording.
      Thank you, Dee.

          I finished my Star of Hope block. It's not too bad for someone who hasn't sewn in 8 years. I do know what I did wrong. I forgot which edges were bias and I ironed them!
