Pattyjo, I'm SO sorry about your brother. I just can't imagine what you are feeling, but you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. So sad!
I like the vine border on that link also...really pretty. Looks like she "winged" it with the extra sashing and that outside border. Very creative!
Lesely, I know you are getting excited! It is going to be so fantastic, I can't wait to see that jewel again!
