Putting quilts in time out
I started making these quilts for my grandsons this summer. The blue bound/backed one went together pretty easily - after I conquered some design issues. The green bound/backed one - gave me trouble from day one. After fighting the quilting of it for a while I put the sad little thing in time out. Until this weekend. Finally took a deep breath, pulled it out, rip-rip-ripped and ... ah, here it is!
Don't know why it is this way, but when I'm beginning to despise a project and dread working on it - into Time Out it goes. Of course, there was no dead line - I want these for the car when we travel with them - one is 3 and one is 4 - and for nap blankets here at my house. -----\ I've tried for over an hour - off and on - to get pictures to upload. So ... I'll submit this and try with a reply or something ... not sure what .... |
Okay - tried for another hour - off and on - to attach pic through edit feature - but then that timed out. I'm going to "manage attachments" - browse - upload - get the message "file uploading, please wait" then "upload failed". Got this over and over until I timed out on editing the above post. So ... dunno.....
|
Turned computer off and on - the extent of my technical knowledge - and will try again with the pictures ....
|
This is directions for resizing if that's what the problem is. Good luck........

you upload them. The poster just before me has provided a link on how to resize. |
Resizing is fast and easy if you follow Patrice's instructions. I did all 16 of mine and had no problems.

I'm very much in favor of putting quilts in time out. I find it's better to spend my sewing time more productively until the quilt in question settles a little in my mind.

Hope to see that naughty quilt some time soon!

Finally picture! Thanks!

Resized pics and - hopefully - here they are.

those are adorable. I hope they quickly become favorites. I'm glad the time out was no longer necessary. lol

I also posted this in another thread. I'm getting the hang of pictures on here....

Aww, cute little guys with their quilts.
|
Love the quilts...and I have the exact same rug in my living room!

And her directions did not work for me at all. When I go to Paint, I do not find or have the resize options. I had to go another route, and finally got it done, but still not sure what I did or how to go back and do it again. The sad part is that I have a dickens of a time posting pictures I took prior to this change, and the good part is that I changed the setting on my camera so now I don't have to resize. Some win and lose situation.
