I think I didn't make what I was trying to say very clear -

They are just more innovative and creative n what will work than I am/was.

They use cotton interlock and single knits - for example - for backings - (Probably no more bizarre than using t-shirts in a top?)

They will use used blankets (that are not wonky) as fillings/battings.

She mentioned several times how varied textures can be appealing.

I had a chunk of a weird green of interlock - and another cotton with a rough finish - she put the two pieces together and it was BEAUTIFUL!

They are very particular about what looks good - and is NOT sleazy.

So after being with them for a while - my horizons of what might work have been broadened.

Thank you G and R.

PS - Their group makes "love quilts" - not "charity quilts"
