Thanks for all the suggestions. I am more confused more han ever!! Zyx, is there a tute on the flange idea? Not sure I understand what you mean. And yes, the quilt is red/black (not blue) and white with some gray in the one block. Not sure is David would like the idea of yellow - will have to ask him. He is 14.
I googled flange and understand what you mean now and I like that idea - just not sure what color to use.
But keep the ideas coming - I need all the help I can get!!
