The quilt is very pretty. You sound like me....When we moved to Texas from Calif. 9 years ago I left my best friend behind(my sis). A year and one half later she called to tell me she was moving here and that I needed to find her a house. My husband and I looked and looked and finally found one in her price range that we liked and put a down payment on it. One month later she was moving into her new home and she loved it. Hadn't seen it until she moved into it!
