Thank you all for your compliments and positive feed back. I knew you'd be nice about it but with all your comments, I'm starting to think it might be okay after all. It's still going to find a home away from my home but now perhaps I can hold my head erect as I hand it off. I thank you for that.
I like the idea of the red thread for the quilting. That would be fun.
You all are the greatest! Thank you!
