Angelia - you're welcome
Belfry - hadn't seen the connecting threads one before, thanks for sharing. And wow - great colors. if you are changing your E, wait till ready to cut the E pieces and decide at that poing. Me, p;ersonally, I love color and movement, so am voting by myself, I guess, as it looks like most votes for the left side. Was your mult color print your D? I think so but not sure.
m-fay - go to the Quilt of Valor's web page --
www.QofVF.gov -- for all the info you need. There are chapters all over the world for honoring vets of their country.
happyfab - Belfry guessed it. much prefer your first fabric choices and would love to see the A and D switched. Second pix posted, pretty colors but doesn't have the drama.
sunlite - love your colors. And DD's quilt is terrific. And would love the name of the pattern.
