So on the side of our posts we have an avatar (hint hint) it says our rank, post numbers, and then some of us say quilting quid.... What the heck is a quilting quid? and is it better to have a high or low # or does it make no difference at all and it's just there to make us wonder? :?

Re: Quilting Quid
Oh My! Just as long as it doesn't involve a lot of very complicated math on my part... :shock: I have enough trouble with 1/4"seam allowances!Be who you are and say what you feel

Re: Quilting Quid
Nope, according to the directions on my templates it is a full 1/4". It is when I leave the safety of my most beloved perfect patchwork templates that I wander into my math nightmare.
I think that if you look up quid it says it is a plug of tobacco. It is also slang for English money. Quilting Money?!!?!? I like the sound of that!Be who you are and say what you feel

Re: Quilting Quid
:? Well, I have 8 posts in eight different threads and my quid is 16. So for me, so far it is doubling the amount of posts that I have made. I have noticed that not everyone's quid is double the amount of posts though. I am guessing that you get one point for making a post and one point for each NEW thread that you post on. So if you post twice in the same thread, you would get 3 points added to your quid. Hmmm..... gonna have to try that. I am probably wrong though. I usually am when I guess things. I am gonna watch that number closer now and try to figure it out.
Geeeeze, as if figuring out what to make next and how to quilt different ways wasn't hard enough of a job to do on here, now I have something else to figure out too. :shock: Who doesn't love a mystery though?My user name is FunkiQuilter, but you can call me Funki for short. (Pronounced Funky.) I inherited the name from my cousin because of my love for unusual things.

My biggest question is not how it is calculated though. It would have to be, what is it FOR?My user name is FunkiQuilter, but you can call me Funki for short. (Pronounced Funky.) I inherited the name from my cousin because of my love for unusual things.
