    My former boss uses that approach too, so he was a little surprised when I followed suit. THE BAD THING IS: when you have asked and THEN you go against the answer, THAT's a lot harder to ask for forgiveness.

    got my partner's name. we should all have to profile what we like and dislike. but then again, if we like a lot of diffent things, just about anything will do.

    I think the surprise in it all, is the fun part!

    Well whoever has my name, trust me, I will love anything you decide to do. Not picky here. If it's a quilt, I love it.

    I'm of the same mind-set. I think it is even more fun to see how the partners interpret each other's interest and style. And if someone wants to make a quilty to try out a new technique - hey, I'm game to be a guinny pig.

    I spent the WHOLE day working on my little quilt -- why is it so much harder to make than a normal size -- I guess because every stitch shows up so much more. Here I thought I could just whip it up in a few hours -- and I know I spent a few hours just ripping out stitches. Believe me, I now have a whole new appreciation for these little guys. Anybody else with trifocals having trouble sewing in a straight line?

    My daddy told me: No one can shoot you for asking, but they can tell you "NO!" - - if you never ask, you will never know ...
    and,
    I interpreted that to mean:
    If you don't want to hear the word, "NO!" don't ask the question ... cuz, if you ask the question, and they say "no" ... then, you really HAVE to abide by their decision ... so, only ask the question if you can live with "no" ...
