Quiltmaker:
How beautiful. Not only should you stake a claim to it, you should take pictures of all four and put them in your quilt album. I think everybody should have a quilt album, but that's just my opinion. Anyway.....It really is beautiful and a wonderful tribute. I haven't made any yet, but I had someone ask me to make a memory quilt for someone. I was more of an assistant as a quilter buddy of mine made it. I had a wonderful learning experience and a beautiful quilt was made in the process. How wonderful that she asked you as you produced such a beautiful thing!! I woiuld never have pictured it the way you did it with all the um.... "interesting" fabrics you described. You did a great job.
And don't worry about Tim...if Patrice doesn't get him, I'm sure someone else will..... 8)
