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!
