Moonrise: Marvelous video, bless you for being so loving and generous. Love those crumb blocks too.
Jolo: Heartbreaking. So sorry, I know how much goes into each and every quilt. Don't let this horrible person keep you from quilting. Somewhere I saw a registry for stolen or lost quilts. Maybe someone can give you more information. Also if you have any pictures you can start a thread asking for people to keep them in mind as they visit various sites.
Lynnie: Know what you mean about the blah factor in the blocks. The upside is that we are achieving the value required to make a truly interesting scrappy. It is really an object lesson in why we gravitate to the medium values.
