Wow! I am a new comer and the topic was fascinating to see develop! We all share the same heart and it IS QUILTED!...I wish I were home right now to help some out with my longarm...do it or rent it out...but alas, we are in Vermont for the fall....just joking, but we are and I am enjoying the colors!...want to quilt them, of course! ENJOY the day! as as the Marines say! "capture it!"
