Jan I'm continuing this thread on the list since your 'solution' (see quoted section, above) appears in the open discussion. Why do we need someone to 'step up and head' something that began as a simple request for dialog? I can't imagine why you have decided to become a trial lawyer with all your questions and implied accusations.. Why don't you ask people for answers before deciding you have them all?
I've watched the thread about hug quilts for days now, trying to stay out of the fracas. But it's time to attempt to clarify that part of the puzzle of which I have direct knowledge.
When Leslie began the QI hug for Kellie, I sent multiple blocks. I had accumulated a group of doggie blocks in an online swap years earlier, and was happy to find someone who could use them. I told Leslie to use those she needed in Kellie's quilt and keep the rest for a quilt for her own beloved pet who is dying of cancer. I believe the blocks that , according to Jan, *WERE NOT ACCEPTED* were in fact those extras I gave Leslie. I don't know what this has come to -- if Leslie still is going to be able to make a quilt for her dying doggie or has been intimidated into passing them on to someone else--but it's really a shame to get so many people involved! Next time, go to the source and ask questions before you fill in the blanks yourself.
Please don't flame me privately; let's keep this discussion in the open on the board, like the 60+ message thread re Hug quilts.
