    I just made 5 rag quilts. I did a 3/4" seam even though the pattern called for 1/2". The first one I saw had 1". I've never seen 1/2" but here's a picture of 3/4". I clipped to 1/4". Be careful when you are clipping it. Don't over-do! It got my carpel tunnel acting up from doing all the clipping. It hurt for a month! :oops:

    I'll send you a PM with tips and information that I learned.
    Your Quilt is SOooooo Cute and Beautiful!! She is a very lucky lady!! :shock: :mrgreen: :thumbup: ;-) :P :D :-) :XD:

    Hi Ms. Shawn! Yes, you can print it. If you go to the top of page 6 there is an awesome copy of it. Our Grammypatty7 from here on the QB did a bang-up job with her computer skills on it. Now it's beautiful too! Enjoy!

    Thank you Marilyn for not minding that I did it up. It really does look nice printed up on good white paper and it's framed and hanging in my foyer. So glad so many of you like it enough to want to print it up. Thank you.
    Hugs

    Well, Patty. You did such an awesome job on your design around it, I'd hate for people to print the one that I put on here originally. Yours is so much prettier. I saved yours to my pictures and then sent it in to Snapfish where I get my pictures made and got an 8 x 10 done of it. It looks great! It's in a frame in my sewing room.

    Wow Marilyn. That's awesome to know. I always tend to just print my own since I have a photo printer. Thank you for sharing that with me. I know that many have no clue where to begin with printing out an 8x10 to get any kind of quality and hoped others could definitely figure it out.

    By the way, I love EQ7 and am enjoying learning it. Finally finished the 6 tutorials in 6. Just had to do that before beginning on 7 so I had a nice foundation to begin working on 7. Finished the 3rd tutorial yesterday and Monday night attended an online webinar for beginners and had a ball doing it. I set my net book up next to my laptop with the webinar on the laptop and EQ7 open on the net book and followed her lessons step by step with her which gave me the courage to try and design my own block without a tutorial the next day. Granted I only copied a copy righted square from a daily calendar I have but the point is that I did it. With short term memory issues, that's a huge challenge for me and I was so thrilled to be able to accomplish the job with ease. Now just need to keep making time daily to practice so that eventually the new skills will become embedded in my memory and stay with me or at least I'll know where to go to figure out what I want to do. Doctor says I'm fine, no alzheimers or signs of it because I'm too aware of and frustrated by my memory issues but he did tell Don exactly what to look for just in case. Don't know if that was good or not but he told both of us that as long as I'm aware of forgetting things and in particular exactly what I've forgotten, I'm ok. It's when I have no clue that there was even something to remember and I forgot. Interesting concept there. Brain function has dramatically improved over the past year so now I suspect it was too many major surgeries too close together and too long under anesthesia and it's just taken me time to get those brain cells functioning again. Anyway, thank you for encouraging me and others to try EQ as we all love and admire your wonderful creations in yours.
    Hugs

    Downloaded, copied onto a nice heavy weight card paper and already hanging so my DH can see it when he comes home! I expect I'll get a rather good response. :) Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
