    It almost seems like the auto setting shows your blues better, but the daylight setting shows your oranges and reds more.
    I say, use both every time :mrgreen:
    (then we get to see more piccies!) lol... :XD: very beautiful, blocks, Marilyn. I love them.
    If I ever get a roundtuit, would you be offended or flattered if I used your colors? slurp :-P

    Hi Mousie!
    Thank you!!! You're right, each setting has its fine points. I like it when you can see the brightness. I would be flattered if you used my colors in something you make. I love matching up colors. Thanks for your compliments and comments.

    Hi everybody! Well, it's time to show you the Chain block. I think this is going to be one awesome (and bright!) quilt.
    Here is the setting block, the Chain.
    Now you will see why I had to make at least 4 of the star blocks before I could make the Chain block. Pretty cool, huh?

    Here is the Chain setting block. See how it combines the colors from the 4 surrounding stars to be made. I think it is really pretty! 5-23-10

    Here is the Chain block, surrounded by the first 4 star blocks. I love the way it ties it all together. Plus, you can tell now how the pattern will be continued to make those star blocks look really big!

    Oh, how FABULOUS!! I just said WOW outloud when I saw the chain block and the other blocks together. Stunning. How would you feel about doing a tute for all of us on this? I would just LOVE to do this one....

    Hi Ella,

    Thank you so very much! I think it is beautiful too. I love bright colors. I have an old pattern for this quilt. It is a "Spinning Spools: A Pattern Club for Quilters Copyright 1991 Oxmoor House, Inc." pattern. Does anyone know if I would be in copyright violation to do a tutorial on it? If there is no "conflict of interest" or anything, I would be happy to do a tutorial.
    Does anyone know how I would find out even? Let me know.

    Marilyn
