LOL! I do believe that is the most over the top BEG I've ever heard.
:-) What colors are you going to use?
Best regards,

<curtsey> Why, thank you, Michelle. I'm flattered.
I'm using the same colors as her, of course. I couldn't pick out 4 different
fabrics. We did sit and play with EQ and tried different color
combinations. I still liked her original the best. Until she posted the
colors for the new one she's testing. Now I wish I had chosen those colors.
Oh, well. Next time.
Cindy

Cindy, I haven't seen her 2nd version of the quilt, but I can tell you,
it would really have to go some to beat the first one. Your quilt will
be beautiful! :-)
Best regards,
