Thank you, Michelle! I can't wait. She's sending me the pattern tomorrow,
(by owl, I guess) she finished writing it today. She absolutely forbade me
from starting until she tests the pattern by making another quilt. I
hesitated to say it, but why the heck can't she test her pattern on MY
fabric and then just give it to me! Save me a heck of a lot of aggravation
and what does she need another one for?

No, that would be begging <gr>.
YES, I suggested it. She is dying for me to make a person sized quilt.
