Thank you everyone-I don't know how to put a picture of anything on QB. I would love to learn and am very close to hiring a computer guru to come to my house and work with me on many things I need to know about this computer. Anyway-the pattern is "Houston Stars" designed by Shawn York. Her website is RustyCrowQuiltShop.com. I love her fabric and her patterns. This particular pattern uses alot of scraps and just caught my eye. I think I will try some of the tricks that you members suggested and see if that works. Wish me luck!!
