Thanks all for the compliments. I am very pleased. I really struggled with the quilt and wanted something plain, easy to piece and and very structured looking. Think I accomplished it.

:D :D :D :D
SulaBug - I made them in the dark brown with a thin accent of the gold. Also when I trimmed up the striped pieces, I ended up with 6 strips all about 3 inches wide and was trying to think what I could do with them. I assembled them into a big throw pillow. The center is squares trimmed with the gold and brown again (I will post a pic when done :-D ).
Dont know if you ever tried the pillowcases but they are super simple. Here is a link to pretty good directions.
