Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	Yep! Looks better! Alex, is there some way you can reduce the size of your posted photos? They are so big that I can't see the whole quilt on my screen without scrolling from side to side and top to bottom. I don't know about MAC, but in Microsoft Paint, it's really easy to do. Am I picky, or what??? First there are no photos and now I'm whining because they are too big!! I'm a PITA today!

RGold OFFLINE Posts: 693 Thank you received: 22	WOW!! What a wonderful collection!! They're wonderful. I don't suppose you're going to give this away in a contest to some lucky TQS member, are you? Just a thought, well, dream! Betty Ann may be right about the pinwheels being too strong. Maybe more neutral colors? Robin

Well, Alex , since you asked if it's good to go. Here is my humble opinion. I think the graphic high contrast pinwheels are distracting. When you look at the picture of the quilt your eyes are drawn to the extreme high contrast and you can not make your self gaze at the entire quilt in a relaxed manner. Look at the quilt and be aware of your eye movement across the quilt. Maybe use them as a border or an alternate block. Just my opinion. Betty Ann
