I've learned almost everything I know about quilting from all of you, and as a relative "newbie", I never felt there was anyone saying there was only one way to get the result desired. The "no quilt police here" message always seemed to come through loud & clear! I tended to get great entertainment from the threads where a subject polarized quilters when both sides of an issue brought out the strong feelings. I'm one who is and always will be grateful for all of you who are very generous with sharing your experience, knowlege, and expertise. Sew on!
