The quilt questions. I hadn't thought about QAYG. That does have some good possibilities. I think I might be better off staying with conventional construction in this case. I think it will be easier to compensate for an uneven number of blocks that way since I don't know the final total yet.
I'll be sure to take some in progress pictures too. Ashlea requested turquoise for the borders and sashing. I picked up a really nice turquoise batik fabric out of some of the donated funds. It looks like a big slab of the stone itself to me. The other fabrics in that color range looked a little dull and lifeless compared to this one.
