    NOOOOOOOOOOOO I'm not saying that! I started with one of them already, 8 Ponyblocks, blue and a flowery fabric. Will take a pic as soon as the top is ready, maybe without borders. I have to think what to use for borders.

    Wow you are going to be the first one done with a PC quilt Anael!! Share with us when you get it together.
    Yup, I figured the horizontal layout is what you meant, QE. I threw in the on point to help showcase those on point blocks. Here's another on point that takes 9 blocks--vertical borders are 4" each and horizontal are 6" to give an overall measurement 51 x 59.

    Oh sure you betcha I did! In my EQ7! LOL I scan my blocks onto my computer and then transfer the image into Electric Quilt. I then have pictures of my blocks to play with in EQ. I had to get a new printer and the new scanner scans blocks in lighter values than the old one. Not sure if it will make any difference when I play around with actual layouts for the final quilt. I'm not going to worry about it.

    Here's the first quilt, with only one border. I need some advice on what to use on the outer border. So please, any suggestions? Don't mention brown please as I don't have any brown fabric!
    The blue flower fabric is from one of our dear friends

    Whopee for Anael! Hip hip hooray!
    Are you going to tie or quilt this? A quick, sturdy way would be to use a double needle and 2 threads and sew a diagonal line through the light blue blocks--then be a little more creative in the pieced and darker blue squares.

    How about something red to brighten the blues--no wait a minute try a yellow.
