Thanks, Jan. I bought the pattern a long time ago and it just sat in my folder forever. Then I had a male friend I thought it would be perfect for and that's when I struck out. Because the cutting instructions are so tricky I didn't want to try using a different gellato. Plus it would change the look anyway. I even emailed the pattern designer ( can't remember her name) and could get no help.
Yours is terrific and proof that I'll want to keep on looking.
The other quilts are amazing too. I love using black with brights.
