I, for one, would never expect anything but the quilt. Of course, goodies are fun, and really appreciated when they arrive, but I must say that I wouldn't think twice if I did not get goodies with the quilt. That is the main event for me and what I look forward to - the love and work of my quilting board friends!! I also know that many people these days do not have extra money for extra goodies - it's enough financially to make these quilts, which are not cheap, for sure! So, MQ, do what you can, what you want, but realize that it's your quilt that is what is expected and loved!!
