Front of Makers Quilt Board 2

After a lot of unsoldering and resoldering I have the board properly rebuilt.  I went from 30 AWG wire to Wire Wrap wire which is much better.  When I wired the matrix to the drivers I alternated blue and white wires to better track where I was.  Once that was done it was time to verify all the wiring.  Out of 48 LED’s I had three bad ones.  In the interest of time I went to Radio Shack and paid $1.49 for a pack of 2 3mm LED’s.  I still have to slap together some Picaxe code which is 75% done.  I should be finished by Sunday.
