If it is a post asking for an opinion, I can answer without reading everyone else's opinion. If it is a question, like others, I read to see if it was answered. But oftentimes, it is a question I don't feel qualified to answer. I did read all 3 pages of this thread, however, as I was curious about others answers. In the picture forum I just look at the pictures, unless I'm hoping there is more info on the quilt.
