You are welcome. I am glad you don't think I was just starting trouble as that was not my idea at all. Just was curious what others thought and I must air some came up I never thought of myself. I am able to voice my opinion but I do not start arguments.

Now, they do/have/will win, as exemplified by this link:

however, if I were a gambling chick, I'd put my $$$ on butterflies, flowers, stars, cats, and such; way before nudes, especially nude males, or even modern art-type quilts.
p.s. I love this type of discussion, with lots of varied opinions!!
Thanks for starting this thread!

I know you said not political, religious, or moral, but this seems to be the biggest I've seen on here.
Now, I've seen some on here debate the quality they see or feel about different fabrics and thread alot also.
I know, why did I even post on this subject, I don't know myself. :oops:
