    3. If you have something on your computer, you don't have to photograph it. Just save it as a .jpg or .bmp file and upload that.

    4. Um, wait, is that design meant to be the whole quilt or one block? Because it has a thousand pieces in it, so if it's one block it'll take you forever to do.
    It is the whole quilt. I'm crazy but not that crazy! Lol

    No, I don't have any quilting design program. I did that on Microsoft Excel 2007.

    And .... no, DH isn't thrilled with the design. Says he'll think about it and do some other 'net research to find what he likes. :(
    When the right design comes along for him we will both know and it will be awesome.
    I really like it and may do a wall hanging of it and sell it. That would put the squares at 1 1/2 inches, but...

    Surely, DH will love this design as it's an original done by you especially for him! Bold design and colors, so southwest, what else could he want?

    I love your design.. only change I might make would be to add some really dark navy blue. would take a while to decide where.. but I like the Southwest designs with lots of navy, peach, rust and tan.. as the primary colors.
