That reminds me - i used to live in a large multiple apartment senior residence. One day I spotted a beautiful swirly turquoise printed sheet in one of the dryers. I hunted down the owner, and told him this:
"I am going to steal your sheet!" and he said: "Why?"
and I said: "It is the exact match that I need for the back of my 3d bowtie quilt top!" "Wait a minute!" and I marched upstairs and got the top, and like a bullfighter swirled the top open across his lap! He was a good christian man, but what he said was - In complete amazement "Well I'll be d...../ded!"
Of course he gave me the sheet, and he was so proud about it and bragged about it so much, I got tired of going and getting it and showing it off, that I gave it to my nephew who was in the Coast Guard in Alaska for a wedding present!
