OK - that is just the most wonderful quilt! I think I favor the 1st one, but they are both amazing! So sorry about your DH's cousin. Sometimes you just wonder, don't you! A non smoker getting lung cancer!
I am taking the quilt top with me to Phoenix, I'll have time there to take off the border and make a replacement. We will be leaving on Monday for our monthly RV Group campout, then we are going to Phoenix to visit my son and grandkids. Be gone a couple of weeks.
