Enter THE TESTS. Agent Pauline has been searching the world over testing and trying to find THE ONE who has the gift that is required for this super secret quilt. Candidates are tested with tests that will kill a mere mortal quilter. THE ONE has not been found. Time is running out.
Will Danmar be THE ONE? Has Agent Pauline finally found the one that she has searched to the ends of the earth for? Will the prediction be fulfilled and mankind saved?
Tune in next time to find out!

Minimum for that many squares with that many pieces plus the design work would be $300. That quilt, which, by the way will be stunning with the kites, is a $1000. quilt here in the east. You should enter it somewhere before she gets it back. Its sure to win a prize. Or make a pattern to sell. I would buy a pattern this intricate,

I'm not so sure about liking both groups together.
Does Pauline have any clue whatsoever as to what is involved in making a quilt?

It wasn't even the same colors she had picked out. I guess she thought I could get a quilt together in a day or two and got tired of waiting on me. I was sooooooo glad because she also had kept changing her mind on the fabrics. GOOD LUCK to you on Pauline's quilt! Also buy a HUGE bottle of aspirin(for all your headache's) to handle this endeavor.
Thank you. I may come to wish that Pauline would go to Wal Mart. I guess all the changes in patterns and colors are to keep us on our toes, and check our memories. Make sure that we make the "Last design" talked about. :lol:

I know you want to make the quilt that Pauline expects so I think you do need to show her (as best you can) how the finished quilt will look, to get her final (is there such a thing) approval. That way you can make it without second guessing yourself, and she will receive the quilt she invisions.
I would love to see the continuation of this saga, pictures and all. i really enjoyed seeing your Swish quilt progress. I think you are going to win...you sure deserve to. :-D :-D :thumbup:

That is my biggest worry. I am afraid that I'll make it like she said, and then she will be disappointed in it and not want to pay me for it. That's why I intend to make blocks that I know will be pretty and have the contrast in colors that I want, and then I'll make one block out of 2 darks so she can see the difference the colors will make. I really hate to disappoint people in any way.
Whatever happens, I will make a beautiful quilt and save the world!

Yea, the kites will be awesome. My DH is just sure that I will hear from her again with more changes. :lol:
I think it will look a bit like a planned scrap quilt, although I hope she won't see it that way. A scrap quilt, meaning so many different colors. If it works out with all those colors I think it will be one absolutely beautiful quilt. With you expertise I have no doubt it will work out great and I am so anxious to see the final results as well as the tutorial as you do it. Go for it. I am sure it will be fantastic!
