No snow here, but it is cold though. I am staying in finishing up my brights D4P, then starting on the batiks D4P. Also finishing up the binding on my over and under batik quilt.

Ladies, please give me some tips on how to keep this block straight. This is my first attempt and it's all goofy. How do I keep it from getting crooked looking? Maybe I just need to try a couple more and get some practice in. I'm a little frustrated cause this one turned out weird. I really want to join this swap but won't if I can't get the blocks looking
good. Suggestions or helpful tips? Thank you![ATTACH=CONFIG]455155[/ATTACH]

TLynn, what's wrong with it? It looks great! I want it!

givio 01-06-2014 04:05 PM

And it's a beautiful batik! Do you mean the outside edge? Just square it up with your rotary cutter...

jaba 01-06-2014 07:17 PM

Some of mine have done the same thing...it's all in the iron. batiks have a tendency to do that and it's not a big deal when you sew the blocks together, the seams all straighten out like they're suppose to. Looks like they are exactly the right size. I would be happy receiving them!!

trying to upload picture of my first set and won't let me I even went and resized it smaller, but it still won't upload puts picture in block to upload and just won't do it. Any suggestions as what I can try to get picture uploaded here.

pbadder after you select your pic from your computer hit upload, when it's in the block click on upload and it should appear in this block where I'm typing now, then click post.

givio 01-06-2014 09:17 PM

pbadder, The same happens for me. When I click on the upload button nothing happens. It was suggested by a QB member that I resize it smaller, so I did that too, but it still didn't upload...
