Yes, and also put the post in the correct topic list and use a descriptive title and DONT SHOUT.... Perennial topic.

I totally agree that name of quilt, book, pattern, magazine where you got it would be helpful. Another helpful idea would be to include the block and quilt size.

I also agree with Rose L, if you are interested in the quilt pattern, technique, etc., read the entire posting before asking a question that has possibly been asked and answered.

Good post.

I look at so many of the pictures of beautiful quilts done here and wonder...what is the pattern!!!! Or say to myself, I sure would like to do the pattern if I knew what it was or where to get it......Please share your information and knowledge.

hmmm.. I just don't know.. I do PM each person that asks.. There have been a few posts taken off. don't know if it's advertising or what.. but.. I don't know if we can// anyone on that one?

A personal pet peeve of mine ;)

For the past month I have been posting pics of the quilts I have designed, but I am afraid to include in the post that you can find the pattern on my website or by calling or e-mailing me. I was told by one of the moderators that I can't advertise my business on the board. What to do?

It is pretty simple to PM someone or put google the name of the quilt pattern and all the info is usually at your fingertips.

It certainly would save the poster from having to answer all those PMs they get about that very question.

That would be really nice!

I would also really like to know sizes, as in inches or feet. It is hrd to tell from pictures.
