Robin - that's funny (very good!)!!! This made me crack up when I read
it, but I must say, it's summed up my feelings also - I just never would
have thought how to say it in such a clever way! And yes, I agree - You
people ARE all amazing! When did you sleep?! These designs are NOT easy
little pieces - these designs are truly works of art! The last time I
checked the IMQ Web Site, there were 4 + pages of pictures of our squares
and I've never seen such an array of absolutely beautiful designs in one
spot! I had not given too much thought before about a way for each of us
to enjoy our quilt - but the book some of you have been talking about now
sounds better and better! I think a poster would be kind of neat, too.

P. S. - Robin - your quilt block is perfect! Don't you dare under
estimate yourself!

PPS - After re-reading, I realized I was really gushy, wasn't I? Sorry -
this project has just really carried me away! Forgive me?

I'm with you on this one. I was truely amazed at the work some of you have

I just made it by the deadline and may design wasn't "anything special"

Different things speak to different people. While it's good that you've
enjoyed what you've seen of others' work, never say your own "wasn't
anything special." Part of the message here is simply that a lot of
people care, and you're a part of that. And the theme you chose may be
precisely what someone out there needed to see to help them heal. You'll
probably never know about it, but you may be very important to someone.

Can't be. *ALL* the blocks were special, because they were done with
love and concern and heartbreak. It doesn't matter if the design is easy
or complicated, all were very special.

Robin,
I am also truly amazed at all the quilt squares shown so far.
Everybody did such beautiful work! This quilt is going to be really
something. I'm sure it will touch many hearts.
Your square was just a good as all the rest!

I agree. Go ahead and compliment all the others on their
work. But don't belittle or trivialize your own. Your work
was from the heart just as much as anyone elses'.

It's nice to be humble, but take the credit and the pat on
the back that you deserve.
