Yesterday I added a new background to the No. 9 Oklahoma Beauty block that had the wonky stripe (that I made wonky by ironing the you-know-what out of the block). Here is the new version:
I like it much better. It will look better after all the paper is removed from the 3 rows that were paper pieced. AND
Thanks to my blog buddies, Dea from the Netherlands and Susie from Susie's Sunroom, the mystery of how to create a collage on Picasa has almost been solved! Here's my first collage of the Virtual Quilting Bee blocks I've done so far in Daisy Cottage fabric from the shop:
The thing I haven't mastered yet is how to add and take away photos for the collage. When I have time, I'll play with it some. I've actually only done 4 blocks but I didn't know how to remove the extra two that show up in the collage. But it's FREE and it's where I edit my photos anyway so THANKS LADIES! I was also given helpful suggestions by Podunkpretties who suggested Photoscape. I tried to download it and my security (Norton) would not allow it because it said it was a Trojan horse program that would eventually contaminate the computer. Also Judy, my blog buddy from 20 North Ora told me that Pic Monkey has a cheap yearly rate. THANKS EVERYONE who tried to help me! You guys all rock!

Hi Bev,
I live in the San Diego, CA area, and my sister lives in your neck of the woods, in Clayton, OK. I talked to her last week, and I had just read your post about the wonky background of your OK Beauty block. I read "Welcome to Oklahoma" to her. She really got a kick out of it. I'm loving your Beauty blocks, and the courage you show in the fabrics you pick for them. They are so gorgeous and bright! I wish I was that brave...8-)
