I've never played any quilting games, but your #1 sounds like a ton of fun. I know when my Mom comes to visit, she always comes with her quilting projects to show me. She always seems to leave my house with lots of my stash. I don't mind sharing. I love to watch her go thru my fabric and ohh and awe. She won't cut hers up cuz it "too pretty". But I must say, she did a batik quilt, and I gladly let her go thru my stash, and you know what - I got that quilt for Christmas that year.Sometimes it just pays to let Mom have what she wants.
