Ok, here goes. What do you do with the spread sheet info? I open it and push windows xl and then what? I opened everything on that page and what the heck am I looking for??????????????????

if you're going to be doing the trip around the world layout it tells you exactly which blocks fall into which section so you'll always know which color fabric to use.

since we're not doing the blocks in order across each row its easy to get lost and forget which color fabrics to use on which block in each section.

now you'll know.

then you can enter that you did it and it will tally how many blocks you've made and how many pieces of fabric have be used to make the quilt.

like jane's quilt label says exactly how many pieces of fabric she used and a lot of people like to continue with that tradition.

Thanks Klue, My DH is calling my quilt Kim's Million Dollar DJ Quilt! He thinks it is costing too much! I need some civil war F4 and was trying to decide how many I was going to need. I think I will add up the cost of his last jeeping weekend before I go shopping I can spend at least that much :-D

LMAO

my DH feels the exact same way.

it is the most expensive quilt i've ever made.

what an execellent idea if my DH starts to complain maybe i'll just remind him of the amount of money he pulled out of savings to get his motorcycle. :twisted:

Wow this is really getting exciting. I have spent a good part of the day trying to get my room ready. Fabrics are washed and ready. Now for the room. Seems like it is never clean.
I just love the Storm at Sea Blue it will go perfectly in my bedroom I have all blue and white in there.

Bearpaw the fossil ferns are just gorgeous I would be pacing the floor waiting for those.

Bearpaw, I love, love love your fabric choices. I agree with the post that said it will be richly colored...those types of batiks come out so pretty into quilts.

have you named your work in progress yet? A few of us have done so...

Kelly, thanks for all your info. I kinda knew all that. What someone needs to tell me is how to get that thing out of this computer. What buttons to push and what to look for. Your talking to a complete idiot here when it comes to computers!
