Oh dear, I think that I have been living under a cabbage leaf. Moonworks, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. He as such a part of our group and I loved to hear about all the help he gave you. Enjoy your cherished memories of him and know that he is still watching you make all the quilts.
Scrapper, I agree on putting a dark border around your gorgeous quilt. I love blue so of course I think that it is gorgeous.
