I think the way it was presented in the initial post was very clear. I've noticed on this thread, and on others, posters don't always answer the question posed but feel free to weigh in on another aspect of the situation. Kerry asked for help with a quilt pattern that would use two fabrics. She didn't ask for anyone to give their opinion on her daughter's expectations or whether she should make the quilt using the fabrics she received. Yet some posters felt free to criticize her daughter, or advised Kerry to refuse, when that was not the question asked.
Perhaps when we respond, we need to check to make sure we are answering the question asked. Kerry asked a quilting question, not a personal question. The responses should have been quilting answers, not personal comments. If we are all a little more careful, we will not cause anyone to feel unwelcome or discourage new posts.
JMHO...
