So you two are like the shoemaker's kids, too? My DH is the same way... LOL! This is a beauty & I agree about the turquoise (& the backing fabric)... it really kicks it up a notch! I have an X ruler (& a pattern, I think... around here somewhere) but have yet to use it (the story of most of my rulers... LOL!). This makes me want to go drag it out. Thanks for the inspiration!
