Here's Florida. You know, I didn't even notice, until starting to sew the eight sections together, that the fans reversed directions. I thought I had done something major wrong. Also, the first nine. I said I was going to name my quilt, and I'm going to call it Turquoise Sky. Turquoise won't be in every block, but in most. [ATTACH=CONFIG]316100[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]316101[/ATTACH]

There was a posting under the "help" area that said the best size for this QB is 640 x 480. When It won't upload because it is too big, I right clicked and just typed in the 640 and it fixes it.
I don't know what kind of camera you have but is you pic under pictures? If it is right click on it and go to "open with". It should give you some options. Find the option that lets you resize it. Also I will go try to find that link they have here to show you how to resize. I will return.

I love everyone's blocks!!!
It is always fun to see what fabrics everyone has used for their stars. Each star takes on a different appearance or style while still keeping the state star pattern.

Some of you are saying you are dissapointed in the contrast of your fabrics. I found something wonderful that I love, and use it to highlight or contrast things in my art quilts, I think it would work here too. Neocolor. They look like Crayola crayons, and there are Neocolor 1 and Neocolor 2, one is permanent, the other is water soluable. I bought (by mistake) the water soluable one, so don't use it on washable quilts. But they are great. Found it online after a friend
told me about them.
And all the Florida blocks are coming out wonderful. Love them all.

Thanks, Tomilu. No, I'm planning on doing a king sized bedspread with all 50. How about you? Do you have plans yet?
