Somebody help me

I do have EQ6, but I am far from adept at it.

#1 Medallion style. Center: 9 9-patch blocks. Surround the
medallion by the 4-patch blocks (that would use 16 of them).
If you use 6" borders, 4 of the 4-patches can go in the corners. That
leaves 1 9-patch and 7 4-patch blocks which could be pieced into the
back.

#2 Set the blocks on point. Alternate rows: 1, 3, 5, 7 have 4 4-
patches; 2, 4, 6 have 3 9-patches. To be artistic you can add a pre-
row-1 of 3 4-patches and a post-row-7 of 3 4-patches. That uses a
total of 22 4-patches and 9 9-patches.

To make the blocks bigger they could be sashed before setting.

HTH, to whomever the original poster is.

i have 10 6" 9-patch blocks and 24 6" 4 patch blocks. i would like
to use as many of these blocks as i can in one quilt top but can't
figure out a pleasing layout. the nine-patches are in 2 fabrics and
the 4 patches are in 2 different but coordinating fabrics. i have
leftover fabric from the 9-patches but not from the 4-patches. any
suggestions? thanks in advance

Dr. Smith is on the level, asks quilt and color-related questions,
gives sensible answers to other posts as far as I can tell. And I
think only 1 or 2 came double (never triple!) So be not afraid.

Thank you; I'm just another husband with some design aptitude, EQ6,
and a little time (disabled) who has chosen to not become a "quilt
widower" if you catch my drift. I make the same mistakes and Usenet
faux pas as everyone else. Now can we please get back to some
quilting topics? 8^)

Many of us did see your introduction, Doc (is that okay?), but some of
our ISPs sometimes "edit" how many posts some of us get. That means that
at any given moment some of us see posts that others never do. It's a
problem, but it's not likely to be solved anytime soon. You're very
welcome here, just as everyone else is who contributes -- which you do.
I think what confused Polly is that she didn't get some of the
messages, and the one she did get was confusing, as it sort of plunged
her into the middle of things. G

My word, you conceptual people blow my brain apart. I remember Dr.
Smith (is Doc ok? it seems so much more friendly than Dr. Smith)
posting and his intro. But this question fell into the category of
I'll-let-somebody-who-knows-something-about-quilting-answer-this. I
really don't deal conceptually very well anymore. Like Nightmist, it's
been like that since the house fell on me. The fact that so many
good answers came up is what makes me very proud to be allowed into
this group of amazing quilters.

Welcome Dr. S ...... glad you're among us.

Howdy!

Ah, how quickly they forget. g
Many of us were "unknown" when we started posting to this
PUBLIC newsgroup. There's no attendant at the door to
check in the "members"; some of us just jump in & start posting
'cause we have something to say. Fine. No intro required.
Never was. No entry fee, either, altho' some of us are happy
to receive fabric, chocolate or other goodies IF someone wants
to send them along "just for the heck of it".
I dunno' what the big deal is, Dr.Smith. You've been posting
for weeks, seem to know what you're talking about (quilts),
haven't offered to shoot anyone (or steal their stash).

Thanks. I've been around Usenet - on & off - for nearly a couple
decades, and this is the first time I felt like I needed to fill out
an application to partake in a newsgroup; most have an open invitation
to "Jump right in!" However, I did lurk for a couple weeks, even
checked out the FAQ, (which hasn't been updated since '98) and THOUGHT
I had a feel for the friendliness, and was kinda taken aback, but I'm
not here to offend or alienate ANYONE. (Are we talking about USENET,
here? 8^P )

Howdy back! I'm not doin' too bad today - better'n many, anyway -
thanks for asking. ;-) N'you?

before "Dr. Smith" ;-)

At the very least there is going to be a lag with most servers.
Google postings are slow to propagate, and that AOL return addy will
make it even slower since some servers have been rejecting such ever

why do i have aol? because my 88 year old mother, my kids, various
other relatives enjoy 6 of my alloted 7 screen names for the low price
of $21.99. i stay with aol because my mom "dials up". she is
corresponding secretary for several of her social groups and is on a
