Thanks Patrice!!! I had that very conversation with a young lady in Jr. high not long ago. She had done a quilting history project for commerce week. (Broad subject was Sewing/Seamstress industries and occupations) She had examples of URR's with the "factual histories" of each block. She also had a mini-Amish quilt with the "each quilter makes an intentional mistake to show humility in her work" statement displayed under it. I pointed her to some wonderful web sites that Loretta had shared with me. BUT...I also made sure to tell her I sure hopes she keeps up the quilting even though the project was over. Her blocks were beautiful, and that mini Amish quilt was outstanding!!! I also congratulated her on taking the time to research histories, but as Loretta told me...make sure you keep researching and don't stop with the first one you find. :D She said she would to all of the above, and had to admit "it was really cool to read about all that stuff"
