Welcome, Guest

Join us on a new 12-month quilting journey as we bring you a fabulous quilt designed especially for TQS by Sarah Vedeler. Sedona Star is a spectacular medallion quilt that features a beautiful center star surrounded by a charming array of appliqué elements.

Each month we will provide a photo and detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, as well as full-size patterns. Sedona Star finishes at approximately 88” x 88” inches. One version features a total of sixteen different print fabrics, including colorful shades of blue, pink, purple, yellow, red and gold; however, Sarah is providing another alternative color option and instructions for each month as well. Fabric kits for both colorways area available in limited quantities through the TQS Shoppe.

THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE!!! Mary Kay

Hi Annis,
Thank you for taking the time to share the jpeg copy and the instructions for using Photoshop to enlarge and darken the pattern. It really does make it much easier for me to see the pieces of the quilt without being distracted by the colors. My plan is to look at the quilts online to get the values, and also to go shopping for some great focus fabric. This is going to be another awesome BOM!

I don't see why they wouldn't make the copy darker to begin with. They are working on it, but I haven't heard what kind of progress they are making!

Save it to your hard drive then open it in Photoshop Elements. On the bottom left of the import screen you will see thumbprints. Change this to "fit page". Go to Enhance, Adjust Lighting, Brightness/Contrast. Change the brightness to -150 (all the way to the left). Do this twice. Now it should be dark enough to print. You can save the file in the desired format. I used a JPEG. This is a really pretty quilt. Have fun coloring it.

Reetzbobeetz OFFLINE Posts: 4193 Thank you received: 209	I have had the same problem with my MacBook. There is no 'properties' option that I can see. Has anyone any suggestions because I have now tried to print it out twice but it's just too light to use. Rita.

fudsy OFFLINE Posts: 44	Is anyone else having a problem seeing the blank drawing of the Sedona star? I printed it out and it was so light I thought the paper was blank. Is there a way to make it print darker : Pam in North Idaho
