That's interesting.... kinda like the cathedral window method of rolling the edges. I just finished one of those.... no more rolled edges for me. At least not for quite a while. But I do like the look..... you did a very nice job.

I was able to finish two projects and used only fabrics from my stash. One is a rag quilt using homespun fabric and the other one is a scrappy rail fence quilt. Hoping to get another done this week and then only two dozen or more to go. I am not sure why I cannot add pictures but each time I try I am able to select the file and click on the Upload File button but they never upload. Any tips would be appreciated on what I need to do to complete the uploads.

jwardknits...Great job on two more finishes!! You may need to resize your photos; if they are too big, they won't post.

Just to add, since the new changes, I have not been able to add photos using the "photo" icon above the window. The only way I can get them to upload is by using the "go Advanced" box and then using the "manage attachments" area. I have no problem adding photos that way. I know it's not the size of the photo, since they readily load one way but not the other.

Linda: That's the way I use. There has been a couple of times that mine were to big, but at least you know that's what the problem is.

This sounds good to me. I had two projects started before I knew what I was doing - a "fussy cut" butterfly table runner that was supposed to be for my sister-in-law for Christmas, and a hot mat for my friend. I had cut everything out and tried putting them together, but the points didn't line up, the squares were crooked, etc.

Since I just finished my "how to" beginning quilting class, I think I'm ready to go on this. Oh, and I also have to finish the Mystery Quilt Train #6 that I've started and am already behind on!

Finally got to re-work the butterfly table runner I started earlier (before I knew what I was doing, somewhat) and finished it yesterday. Going to try and post pictures here. Hopefully they'll come out straight and not blurry as I took them at night with my ipad - one full-on and one close-up.[ATTACH=CONFIG]464582[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]464581[/ATTACH]

When and if I do this pattern again, I'll change my cross hatch quilting to better match the square outlines - next class will be a free-motion quilting so I'll know more than simple cross hatch!
