wow...you really put a ton of time into this and it's a beauty. Amzaing what you learn about quality along the way in terms of making quilts. I had a non-quilter friend tell me I should buy less expensive fabrics, but at this point, frankley, I'd rather not make something than work with cheap (not necessarily inexpensive) products all the way around - from the thread, needles, pins, to the batting and fabric!
