Well, Carrot, this is how I do mine. I save my picture to the Desktop, then right clk on it and click PAINT...can resize in there...Just play with it to see which you like. I always save as, so if it isn't the size I want, can go back to original and try another size. I usually go for 25-35%. That's how I do it..

I resize my pictures in Paint too, at 25%. Easy to do.

This is going to be a great top. I really like your colors. When I first started lurking on this Bee, I saw your blocks and just loved them.

I have been using my Samsung tablet for my pictures and downloaded an app called "photo and picture resizer" (go figure LOL), anyway, it has been working well for me.

Chasezzz - seeing your latest tops almost made me click on Craftsy and go shopping:-) Really beautiful tops.

I think that "Crazy Anne" is just perfect for bonus block, I just printed it out and will probably work on it over the weekend. Thanks for the new pattern!

I'm working on the new pattern too. The outer units were a breeze going together. But..The four center units are not coming out to size for me. I've already made those little suckers over 3 times, still not right size. I'm going to sleep on it and go at it again tomorrow. I may redesign them for my block. Did I mention I hate paper piecing? LOL

HAHAHAHA LOLO. Ann that is so funny...I never thought of that when I found the pattern...Please don't take it to heart..

Lipster, did you print off the template? You don't have to do paper piecing, but is good for learning. Try printing off the template as stated in the heading..

Are you serious, no way would I take it to heart, I have fun with it. As you get to know me, you will see I have a warped sense of humor, I can laugh at things no one else sees funny. I used to hide the laugh, but now, if I feel it coming I just let it out. The look on people's faces as if "what is her problem" or "I think she is losing it" just adds to it. I love it. Life is made to enjoy.

I just came up with a great idea thanks to everyone on this board. We were talking about piecing the back of the quilt instead of using one piece. I think I will take every block that doesn't come out right and put them together for the back, see that, end of frustrations... hummmmmm interesting thought. Still loving all this. Guess it doesn't take much to amuse me.

I've done both and they still don't work for me. The length of the unit is coming up short for me.

I love your quilts, Chasezzz. I have signed up for several classes with Craftsy but I've been so busy I haven't taken advantage of them Thank God, there is no time limit on taking the classes. Someone will be very fortunate to have any of these quilts.
