It's fun to work with her; we have very different tastes and I've learned to make allowances for her more traditional preferences and she's learned to trust my sense of color. It is hand quilted; she paid a local quilter to do that for us. Hope you enjoy looking at it!
I love the touch of blue - it is the PERFECT color to set off the neutral greys and black……beautiful pattern, I would find it very hard to give this up….even for such a good cause…..
