Thanks!
Emily's dad picked up the quilt this morning and really liked it as well. He told me that the t-shirt quilt I made for their son 2 years ago is on one of the US Navy ships in the Arabian Sea. He still uses his quilt after 2 years in the Navy.
I wasn't quite sure how the HST's were going to look once everything was done, but once the first block was done I was quite pleased with it.
