Well, I'm totally humble in my thanks for your encouragement, (to both of you above and a few others which I've stumbled across). I posted a response to Root88's query, as to the possibility of my intentionally "screwing up" the quilt(s) and if you're following my problems here on ICE, I invite you to browse my assurance to him, that I am not doing this beyond my learning curve. I've found the work on these quilts, much more worthy of positive input than to set about sabotaging the work of others.Yes, I may look obstinately awkward in my inability to find the quality of consistancy that makes a great tiler, but the effort that I put into generating enough work to get a handle on the tenets of tiling, surely must speak something for my enthusiasm. Trust me to say that I am looking forward to making myself worthy of some of the greater collaborations which I see so well presented at ICE. and wouldn't I be a FOOL to pass up the chance to learn from the people here at ICE! Again, thank you for your encouragement. Ed Martin
