You ladies are acting like a bunch of spoiled quilters! I can't believe that you would act so selfish. As for me and my quilter friends, I think we would have shared if the lady truly needed it. I would hate to run out of fabric and not be able to find any more to finish my top. AND You can always find something for your backing... After all, this IS THE CHRISTMAS SEASON. As for giving... the quilt to the left has a small block that has a kidney appliqued on it. This represents the kidney that my sister-in-law unselfishly gave to my husband....I am thankful for unselfish, giving people.
