Switching the double dragon square would be ok then with the Sonic square?

No more issues with the quilt? I am driving home today so if there isn't anything else I will get the squares washed, ironed, cut, and ready to start working on tomorrow!

So we are going with the green. All of the squares are washed and ready to go. I just need to iron and trim them. Once I get some more embroidery stabilizer in I will make the special squares.

So there are 2 quilts. One will definitely go to the dinner auction. We have a couple of choices for the second one. We can post it on ebay again, I can take it to have it auctioned off at a convention, or we can have a drawing with tickets from $1-5. Of course all proceeds would- go to Child's Play. Any other suggestions or thoughts?

I have run into a small problem and need some help. My Child's Play logo and Sprite Stitch logo are saved on my embroidery machine (look at my blogs if you want to see what happened). I had them on a flash drive but I just found out it is corrupted. So I need to redo them. I have a clean Sprite Stitch logo, but need some help with the Child's Play one. I need someone that can take the logo I have in pdf and remove some of the words and send it back to me in a jpg format.

Can anyone help with that? I need to be able to email it (pdf) so if so, what is your email address.

Thanks!!

Servotron took care of it. :D Thanks!! It turned out really well and I already have the patches made. I am working on the Sprite Stitch ones now. Adding the year in blue under the logo to make the quilts even more unique and valuable.

See what I mean about the layout. It is going to turn into an awesome Twin sized- quilt. I ran into one problem though. I need to add another 4 inch border to make it really twin sized but I ran out of the green fabric I used to border the squares. How do you think the green in the child's play square would look as a border?

It looks so nice! The black really sets it off!!

I think the green in the child's play square would make for some nice contrast too!

This looks FANTASTIC! I think the Child's Play green would look just fine as an extra border. Great job as always, Tnitnetny!
