PLEASE RESIZE YOUR PHOTOS! MAKE THEM SMALLER! A lot of the photos being posted are very large files, 1 MB and larger. Before you post, shrink them! A lot of us are having trouble with the pages loading. This will help. i have to resize almost all the photos in the gallery because those pages won't load easily either with huge files. Thanks.

I found that the program Paint is the easiest to resize pictures! you can right click on any photo, choose "Open with" and then paint and just hit resize...I always resize mine to 25% or less...Its a free program too I think

I got tires of waiting for page 17, yes it loads very slow because the pictures are so big.
Another thing you can do to keep the pictures small in size is after you resize the picture to about 8inch by what ever it ends up being (I cut the largest side down to 8" and don't worry so much about the other side), then reduced the resolution to about 75, it does NOT hurt the pictures for viewing and I have never had anyone complain about not being able to see what I've posted. hope this helps

WOW you guys are fast!!!! I love my blocks so far. I just came back from vacation last Tuesday night and the squishy was there. Looked at all the lovely fabric on Wednesday night. Oh it is so hard to get back to work. I hope to do a few today and tomorrow before traveling for work next week. But the 4th of July should be a good day to do some sewing for a 3 day weekend.
I'm just amazed at all the good things showing up including lovely sewing rooms. What does it look like now?????
As far as voting, I prewash everything. I don't have a preference.
Oh also, lost my camera on vacation so probably will not be posting pictures.
