Thanks everyone - it was a blast - I think cookies and tea would be what this calls for as well..
That backing fabric that everyone likes is a fabric that I had for such a long time and didn't know what to do with it - I had a whole bolt of that - well, I used it on a full size quilt a while back - and it was perfect for that - then I used the balance on this one - the colors just seems to fit right in...I love finding thing in my stash to complete projects...... :-)
