Karla,..I've been so (sew) busy since the 1st of the year, I missed this post. It is turning out very manly and looks fabulous already...especially on that B/W rug :wink: Great job, I love to watch quilts progress.
BTW..I saved all the scraps when making Heartsong and they went in random rows on the back.. Partly because I liked the look of it and partly out of necessity..I was running short on my backing fabric and had to piece it. Turns out to look pretty nice. When I finally get it done, I'll show you.
