But 20million Americans carry one of the 80 something strains.

I think, for me, that I work best when I'm not trying to make a statement, but I've achieved a kind of flow while I work. In retrospect, and often through discussions and critiques, I can learn so much about where I was at a particular time by looking at my quilts. And I guess that's statement-y in its own way.
