Hi, I've just joined in! Wanted to use my favorite username, but alas, already taken. So from here on in, I'll be "Fabric Maniac" which I certainly am. My first topic... since I am a native of Boston (now living in AZ) I have a "pet peeve" ... great way to start out, huh? I always feel the hair rising on the back of my neck when the traditional quilt block is referred to as "Boston Commons". It is NOT "Commons", but simply "Common" with no "s" for plural. A "Common" is the word typically given to represent a public park and since the early 1700s, it has been known as Boston Common, the large public area in the heart of the city. OK... I am off my soapbox!!
