All of them are great. Great job. Aren't irish Chains fun to do. Did a double Irish Chain for my first quilt. It was a queen size. Love all of yours. Keep up the great work.

I always open my pictures in the PAINT program. Once there, you can right click and choose "stretch/skew". I reduce mine to at least 50% but usually all the way down to 25% (of the original) before trying to attach them on this message board. I also have dial-up, and it works so much faster this way. If the picture is a keeper, I make a copy of it first, so I still have my originals in good quality.
