All I can say is better you than me. I think it will turn out beautiful. Although I think it will look more like a "scrappy" quilt with all those colors. Not a bad thing, but not a planned out top either. Good luck!

Hey Marilyn, I've got an idea...just kidding :lol: You have to be the most patient person I know. I couldn't help but laugh at all of the changes...how do you keep it straight?
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:

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!

Yea, the kites will be awesome. My DH is just sure that I will hear from her again with more changes. :lol:

Thanks a lot!!!

Oh! BTW, As I mentioned, I'm thinking of adding another $25.00
to make all the "kites" that she added. That's going to be alot of work. Do you think $25 is a fair amount?

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!
