Dear Draggin behind, You said what I have wanted to say to a leader in the past...No more!! Mystery quilts take away a part of the process of quilting that is important to me. That is planning the pattern and settings and the right colors for them.. I agree that its my time, fabric and $ being spent, I have a right to say how I want to use it. The agenda was whip out as many quilts as possible in the least amount of time before we meet again so we can make another and do the same thing again. Not my style and after way too many quilt tops that I divided up into charity lap quilts, I said enough is enough. Now, I must see a picture of the project or want to make it really bad from an example... that I will agree to make a quilt someone else suggests. Would they be surprised if you showed up in their meetings, after all, they didn't notify you you were kicked out, or did they? Thanks for your post....I hope you find some more friends to enjoy spending time with.
