    Good idea, Louise.

    hogshead-What I did when I printed off my letter was, I brought up the pic of the whole chart, zoomed in on my letter so it was filling as much of the screen as possible, then when I clicked 'print', you can just print 'current view'. On my printer pop up box, it was on the left hand side, about a 1/3 way from the top. This printed it large enough to see the squares clearly.

    Afternoon everyone,

    *Louise* - Sounds like a fab idea. I'd like to see them all on the same page so we can see the whole alphabet building up.

    NMM - I'm not sure either, I haven't posted mine off yet. Hopefully Emzy81 or Lellypants will be along shortly to let us know.

    Ruth_Honey - I did the same and it worked for me. I printed the 'current view' and it was pretty clear. However I think I was lucky and didn't get an awkward one as there were no fiddly half stitches on mine.
    :xmastree:What a splendid idea, this Christmas sounds fun. I fully endorse it, let's try it at once!:xmastree:

    Thanks for outting all the finished piccies on the front page Louise...they look fantastic. :T

    I can't wait to see the finished quilt!

    Is it OK to send the squares to be "quilted" yet?

    I have mine safely in a zipped plastic bag to keep it flat and clean.

    Have lots to do today, but really must knuckle down and get my neice's bookmark/card designed and started/finished...we are off to my sis's on the 19th, so I have to get a wriggle on!! Also have to make a couple of cushion-covers too....sis & her OH's belated Anniversary pressie...a busy week ahead then!

    Also sorting through all our
    things to get stuff together for a car-boot on Sunday, thank goodness I am not at work today!!

    Happy stitching everyone.
