I think I'm finally able to move forward with my 30's reproduction Dear Jane after seeing photos of one at this site http://welshquilter.blogspot.com/200...s-fabrics.html I was stressing about getting so many background fabrics like the No Pain, No Jane. After seeing the one by welshquilter with fewer Jane blocks, white background and consistent alternate blocks, I feel like I can actually do this!

Can anyone give a tutorial on posting your pictures of the blocks on the block chart? I tried it last weekend and I could not get it to work. My scanner will not reduce the pixels to 72-75 as the instructions for the software says. Mine will only go down to 150 so that might be my problem but I went into Microsoft Picture Gallery and reduced my pictures to the tiny size the software suggested but still no luck. I would appreciate any help on this matter. I might have to just resort to printing the chart and crossing off the ones I have completed but it would be nice to post my progress in the block chart. The time I spent working on this crazy chart I could of had another block made so I was disappointed I could not get it to work. Thanks for any help.

In Windows Picture Manager you can change the format of the picture. Set it to 40 x 40 pixels, save as mya1 or whatever block you made (lots of clicking before you're there where you have to save it!!) and you can insert the pictures into the block chart.

I have actually found that "Paint" works best. Go to resize under view. After you have set the pixel to 40x40 [the second 40 should come up automatically once you set the first parameter - don't worry if it comes up 38-41- no need to be exact], save as mya1 [or whatever block you have] as a jpg file. Be sure you have it in a location you can find. Mine sometimes ends up in a temporary folder with missing socks!! If you still have a problem, PM me, I will give you a phone number and walk you through it.
Sorry I haven't come on often. Will try to get pics of next weeks blocks taken and loaded.

Best of luck at your appointment.
