Aww I worked out a trade for some donation quilting work --- If I would have known the thread would have turned into a donation topic I would have posted in that area ;-) --- but it worked out just fine as the quiltmaker will be honored and donation work will be done. my boyfriend and i will be happy thanks everyone!!! PS.. we still don't know what the block is.

If you aren't crazy about it there are plenty of people who would love to have it. A museum is a great idea but if not, I'm sure someone here would love to have it. Perhaps you can work something out.
