Non PD: PD Quilt

["Marjorie L. Moorefield" <minx32@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Carole/Elorac,
 A PD quilt sounds wonderful to me and I just printed off
a pattern from one of the Quilting Web Pages which would
be perfect for it.  It has 2,000 pieces of fabric in it, and they
call it a Millennium quilt because of number of fabrics in it.
It also has a piece of Muslin in the center for signatures,
when I get caught up on a few things around here, I'm planning
to start it, then I'll start collecting signatures, and might have
to ask each person for a 4" square of cotton fabric.  I have lots
of fabric, but not 2,000, maybe 1,897, but not quite 2,000. I'd
probably better plan to make a 2001 quilt!!!!!
Thanks for a great idea.

As Ever,
just me,
Marjorie 67/12
