Well it never hurts to give information. I am more than willing to do it, I just can't gurantee that my memory will accomodate me in doing so. LOL

It would save a lot of time reading thru posts or waiting for the poster to respond. It would also help eliminate all of us asking the same question multiple times. What do you think? :lol:

Ditto, We all usually want to know the name and the pattern or where we can get it. I love your idea. I think we should all name the block and book, then ask the questions.

I'll bet it will, you are such a sweetheart. Thanks for gifting the horse quilt to a fellow quilter in ill health.

I can go along with this suggestion, BUT I have one myself......most of us provide links correctly when we list them, but lately a lot of people do not...........this is frustrating to me to have to copy and past in a new browser just to have it show up.....this means I am on here toooooo long and I would like to go to my quilt room :(

I agree with you! Many posters list everything in their question and people just do not read what has been written and when some of them do they still don't get the original facts correct. Don't know what the solution to this would be but it sure makes for a long thread with people asking questions answered originally. Can be very frustrating for many members.

There will never be a positive solution for every poster or every reader but we can all TRY to give the information and it will save some of us for asking multiple times and not getting answers when we ask! THANKS FOR THE GREAT SUGGESTION! I want to give credit where credit is due - if it's an original design why not take the credit??? (Prefer not to share the details, just say so!)
