Ha ha I didn't GET that FAR LOL. It had to do w/ quilters & quitters ...I liked the sound of it. Maybe folks could SIGN in & ADD their "patch" to the QUILT? I give.

I game. That would be really cool. If we can come up with a game plan. Maybe it could be donated or raffled and the proceeds go to yhe lung assoc. or something like that. (A Freindship quilt).

This is getting interesting, but cosmic LOL. We don't trust DS w/ $ & how do we pass around a quilt? I was talking cyber-quilt, each patch of our OWN design or who knows? Any ideas from the Peanut Gallery?

I wouldn't have any clue how to do a cosmic quilt.
But I'm sure there are ones of us that we can and do trust. I would be most happy to accep blocks and put them together. I would even we willing to pay yo have it quilted unless one of you like to do that part and have a machine hefty enough to do it. It could be worked out. I have a friend how does friendship quilts all the time.
