LOL, I hope not...I know the song, but the mental image of a
clown running to you...and I am going other way.
Bozo the clown scared me at three, in a field, he was gi-normous and just hovering, and there i was standing on a bridge, by my aunt's car...
yes, it was a dream...but turned me a bit off by clowns!
Still watched the show, but keep them big nosed, pasty faced, clod-hopping, big handed beasts away from me. Too weird, lol!!!!
....help me, Rhonda...help, help, me, Rhonda.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry I don't do Clowns... now miniatures I can handle if you are ever frightened by miniatures I am your gal! I'll come and take them away!!

Didn't know my comment would cause such a stir. I apoligize if you were offeneded. When I read the Rhonda thing, Cathy's Clown just popped into my head and............I just couldn't resist.

Heaven's no!!!!! Someone as nice as you would never have a Kathy's Clown for a DH! Growing up this was the only song I knew that had my name. When I was young, it upset me that the song potrayed Kathys as someone who would treat someone that way. And sorry for the highjack.

OK time to return to how beautiful your quilt is.

Love it ,K. I love blue, and this one is very special! Kinda has that country French feel. And special to this board, 'cause you used Rhonda's method - and added your own twist! Congrats to both of you. I'm gonna have to try your method, Rhonda. I can see that there are LOTS of possibilities. Do I have your permission to draw some of the blocks into my EQ5 and play?

What I do is draw the block and add it to the sketchpad. Then I change the layout so there are no sashings. I use 6 blocks across by 6 blocks down because that is what I make my hotpads with and it is my best seller so I make alot of them. So I design around this set up usually.

If you want to see the layout so the blocks are seperated you can add the sashing back in and use the bottom (you have EQ5 right?) tool on the right hand side and change all the sashing to white and you will be able to see the blocks laid out apart from each other.

If I can help just let me know!

No offence taken whatsoever! I was 'Chatty Cathy' when I was little after that talking doll - don't know if you had it in the US!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.

Rhonda - re the other blocks, I did work them out myself EVENTUALLY! LOL!

As for EQ - I don't have it so I just made a few blocks then shifted them around on my design wall til a layout started to emerge that I liked then made other appropriate blocks to complete it.
