Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> Neither sister quilts but one or the other may want it on GP.
 NB>  NB>> True...  Do you know who made that quilt...?

 RH> No idea, Mom picked it up at an auction. I didn't look at it that
 RH> closely to see if it had a label.

 NB> So at least the GP wouldn't include that it was some sort of family
 NB> heirloom... ;)   Something to talk thru sometime, I guess... :)

Yes, at some point we will, as we divide everything up.

 NB>  NB>>> Sounds nicely patriotic...  ;)  Is that a "regulation", or can
 NB>  NB>>> you use other color schemes...?
 NB>  RH>> You can use other color schemes but since these quilts go to
 NB> vets, the  RH>> patriotic colors are more appropriate. You could use a
 NB> beige,
 NB>  RH>> cranberry and (other) blue, for example, it's still RW&B. Our
 NB> group  RH>> generally uses patriotic colors for the presentation
 NB> quilts, other  RH>> color schemes for the quilts we raffle off as fund
 NB> raisers.
 NB>  NB>> Ok, that makes sense...  :)

 RH> That way we can make use of donated fabric that's in other colors
 RH> as well.

 NB> That, too... :)

Makes sense to do so.

 RH> BTW, I think I have enough fabric to do a reverse of what I'm
 RH> cutting now--red and blue where the white is on the current one,
 RH> white where the red and blue are.

 NB> Good show...  :)   That sounds like a nice quilt, too...  :)

As long as I don't do a bonehead like I did yesterday, cutting 2/3 of my
white strips 12" instead of 12 1/2". But, I can get another yard or so
of white for the reverse quilt and use the strips in another project.


 NB>  RH>> I saw a stained glass window in yellow, green and pink that

 NB>  NB>> That could be pretty... :)

 RH> We'll do it as 4 blocks, with black "leading" strips to make it look
 RH> like a stained glass piece too.

 NB> Will the blocks be done by four different people, then...?  That can
 NB> be fun, to collaborate on something like that...  :)

Most likely the same person, for consistancy in sewing. My quarter inch
seam may be a millimeter or 2 larger or smaller than your quarter inch
seam and the blocks wouldn't line up.

 RH> Have to ask when you go there for your pre Christmas meal.

 NB> If I think of it then...  :)   Or if I think of it in the meantime,
 NB> sometime when we go there in between...  :)

You'll remember, just after you leave the restaurant. (G)

 NB>  NB>> Apparently...  :)

 RH> As I did once with a 3 bean salad. Instead of using green, wax and

 NB> Not quite the same salad...  ;)   But at least the same marinade... ;)
 NB> I've seen versions that were 4-bean (added chickpeas to the

 NB> ;)

I make it for pot lucks and such like but have tried the canned for the
2 of us. Not bad, but not great. OTOH, I tried their German potato salad
and would rather make my own.
