I just discovered this site. There are 4 pages of different quilt designs which would be neat for backgrounds. The gal who runs the website merely asks that it not be used commercially and that there be a link to her website.

I will be using one of her quilts as background in my Challenge #77 picture.

In case anyone is interested.

Lorace,

Thanks for the link. Always good to see new concepts. You know that wouldn’t be too hard to do in PSE with a little patience. All you have to do is set up a new document and widen the window up so you have some of the gray box then set up your pattern with the polygonal lasso going out into gray so you don’t end up with lines on the edge of the document. Then after you have your grid laid out in selection form stroke it. Then pick out a pattern you want to use. Do a pattern fill under the grid. Click on the grid and select the places you want the pattern. Select Inverse then go back to the pattern fill, click the mask portion, then fill with black. The whole patch work could be done in this manner. If white in corners next to black grid, you could use the maximum in the pattern mask to extend the pattern selection a few pixels. Hey, I bet a patchwork pattern like those would look pretty cool applied to a piece of line art.

They are very pretty! Thank you for her link.
I would love to try to make some, that sounds like a fun project. This could be another snowflake thing! Ray will see this soon perhaps.
I will give it a try this afternoon, when we get home from our bike ride. Jane
