Your idea of ghastly is my idea of pretty cool. I truly like what you have done. I like the colors and the pattern. I would love to see it finished. i'm working on a quilt almost just like that but it has a 16 patch in the center instead of the 1/2 square triangles set on point. Mine is in blue. I hope you change your mind about the quilt and make it something to be treasured, if not by u by someone who will love it to pieces.l
