I don't think so; it is very fresh and summery. I like your block in the middle. Fits in well with the other blocks. If you don't want tokeep the quilt you are sure to find somebody who will be very happy to take it off your hands

Not sure what you mean with "All a bit acidic" but, I love them. It's going to be such a sweet quilt. The bit of yellow and the center in the star and log cabin blocks are great Wendy!

Everybody's blocks are turning great!!!

Love the watercolor effect in yours Marianne.

Rita, I think your colors are really pretty. Love your beautiful tree quilt! Gorgeous colors and what a great gift for your parents.

Rosemary, wow, love your new skirt and what can I say about your blocks? Striking!!! And wow, those mini-blocks are really cool.

Marilyn, love the "antique" look of your blocks.

BJ Your quilt is beautiful, love the birdie blocks.

Nancy, your quilt is awesome and the name so cute

Hope I'm not missing anybody, if I do please forgive my memory, this thread has been very active the last few days. Enjoying reading all the posts and seeing all the photos.

As for me, it's a holiday "looong" weekend. Trying to keep a 3 1/2 boy and a 7 girl busy and entertained. DH has been gone for almost 9 weeks now and it's getting hard to keep up. Man! Got to respect single moms. I'm usually one of them for 2 weeks at a time, but summer is the busy season at DH work and usually gone for 6-10 weeks at a time. Add to that no family nearby, neither friends yet. The things that keep me sane in times like this are a few stitches here and there and this forum with you al!l that I think of as my BFF now.

DH is coming home next friday for a week so I'll caught up... Eventually

This is my set of blocks. All a bit acidic.

I've done 'upload attachment', then I get a screen that says Filename and a blank box, then a box that says browse, and then another box that says add the file. I do not see a 'choose file.
I do not use ' quick reply'

This is what I do
1 I upload attachment
2 I click 'browse'
3 I find the file and click on it - sometimes I 'open' the file, and sometimes I just click on it, but the following happens anyways:
4 I click 'add the file'
5 that's when the file listed in the blank box disappears.

In any case, I've written to tech support.
Thanks for you help.

Maybe I should join a computer self-help forum; but I dare say it wouldn't be as much fun as this one (or as pretty!)!

ps. I also would like to update my profile pic, so you all can find me in Houston! How many more sleeps 'til Houston?

Computer can be so frustrating. Sometimes I just want to throw them out the window. Perhaps there is a problem and its not working right. But sometimes a person just can't see for looking and you miss something right in front of your eyes. Leave it alone and try again tomorrow. If it still doesn't work ask for help from the technical support folks at TQS. Good Luck!

Lois,
I've tried and tried again and I've never seen a blue line after I've added the file . Everything is blank and nothing takes place. I think I must be dense.

Terrie, After you push "choose file" then you have to push "Add the file". At that point, watch the blue line in the webaddress line at the top of the screen and wait for the blue line to fill the entire box. It sometimes takea a long time for that to finish. The "Place in line" button will not appear until it is finished uploading. You can do it. Try, try and try again and you will get it finally. Ask me how I know!

Giggle..... Terrie, that lovely skirt would not fit me. I'm too wide and a lot taller than our petite Rosemary.

Great skirt, Rosemary!!

Thanks, Ritzy, I did try that. But someone else is having troubles too, so I guess maybe it's the photo programme I have. My son recently helped install this
'new-ish' computer and he said to use Picasso for all my photo stuff. Since then, I seem to be having trouble uploading to TQS. However, I can send if via email, because another dear TQS member is/was the victim of my photo uploading, and, that worked, so...

Rosemary, sorry I attributed your new skirt to Lorchen. Now I bet she's gonna want one too!

Yeh finished my blocks . Thought I was up to date then see there is more instructions nose to the drawing board then

Terrie, you can't do a "quick reply" to add a picture. You have to go down to the "Post Reply" and post and then you can find the box to add pictures.

Rita - Your blocks are wonderful! I love the soothing colors!

Rosemary - Wow!! I love your colors and am blown away by the miniatures! Can't wait to see how you finish it up!! Are you going to put tiny sashings between the center blocks to bring that area up to 6" finished? That's probably what you're still deciding about...

Everyone is doing such incredible work! What fun watching and learning!

Nancy

PS - For those having trouble uploading photos, are you reducing the size of the photo before uploading it? I've heard it can be a problem if the picture file is too big to begin with. Just a thought.

Hi Rita,
Thanks for asking for quilt photos. I have been trying but they wouldn't upload and I tried to put them in personal pictures on my profile, same problem. Sent question to tech support. Will post when I find solution.

Found Margo's rules under " Tips for using the TQS forum, but doesn't work for me - I never see a "place-in-line' thing to click on.
