You are welcome. I am glad you don't think I was just starting trouble as that was not my idea at all. Just was curious what others thought and I must air some came up I never thought of myself. I am able to voice my opinion but I do not start arguments.

however, if I were a gambling chick, I'd put my $$$ on butterflies, flowers, stars, cats, and such; way before nudes, especially nude males, or even modern art-type quilts.

p.s. I love this type of discussion, with lots of varied opinions!!
Thanks for starting this thread!
