Hi Louis,
Ah, Cedar Rapids. I went to school in Des Moines - lots of years ago, before you were born! Yikes. Anyway, blue goes jut fine with brown. One of my sister's favorite color combos. Did you get good help at JoAnn's? I'm so excited to see what you decide to do. Another thing you might want to do is see if there is a quilt guild near you. You might get some good help from the people in a guild. I'm sure they would love to take you under their wings and help you. Keep us posted.
