The scanning program that I use also lets me crop before the scan so there's no white spaces around the block. I need to learn how to make the pictures on here a little smaller though.
Now, if you want to keep the copy of your original block in the larger side, then you need to click Save As and save the compressed picture under a different name. When you go to exit MS Pic Mgr, it will say that you have not saved the file and ask if you want to save it. It is referring to your original picture. Click No.
Unfortunately Windows Photo Gallery does not have a compression feature.
There are other ways to do this, but I don't know other programs. Maybe someone can volunteer another way, especially if you don't have MS Pic Mgr.

Looking at all these is so much fun :thumbdown: :shock:
The original block reminds me of one of those rectangular desktop toys filled with blue oil that sloshes back and forth.

Where do you find the table for this... it sounds very interesting. I am a member of the yahoo group, just can't find that. Thanks

Go the the Yahoo website, files, spreadsheet examples, then Farmer's Daughter Quilt grid.doc It's a MS Word doc that you can paste pictures of your blocks in.

Wow, I am impressed, we've only been up a few hours officially and look at all these beautiful blocks already and what fantastic variety or colors and textures. This is going to be so much fun.
Darcene and I are both going to use Kansas Troubles in our blocks, I just love the rich colors of these.
Jags, I still think you are nutty to be 2 of them with such small blocks, they are going to be wonderful when done tho.
Keep up the good work,
Muriel
