Carole/Elorac, A PD quilt sounds wonderful to me and I just printed off a pattern from one of the Quilting Web Pages which would be perfect for it. It has 2,000 pieces of fabric in it, and they call it a Millennium quilt because of number of fabrics in it. It also has a piece of Muslin in the center for signatures, when I get caught up on a few things around here, I'm planning to start it, then I'll start collecting signatures, and might have to ask each person for a 4" square of cotton fabric. I have lots of fabric, but not 2,000, maybe 1,897, but not quite 2,000. I'd probably better plan to make a 2001 quilt!!!!! Thanks for a great idea. As Ever, just me, Marjorie 67/12 At 08:20 AM 06/18/2000 -0700, you wrote: >Dear Just Marjorie/Truly Marjorie/Marjorie, For Sure & >Camilla: > Sure sounds like an unusually accomplished week to me. >Yes, I also have osteoarthritis (but then, I seem to have >everything.)
