Just a quick FYI in case you want to make another quilt or pillow (to go with this quilt) with gold panning......A couple years ago Colorado had a fabric with miners gold panning on the shop hop fabric (fabric made specific to our annual shop hop). I recently saw some of this fabric still in one of the quilt stores. The background fabrics were cream/off white and a second color of darker tan. tone on tone. There were also other things related to Colorado, like the "Welcome to Colorado" highway sign, hot air balloon, skier, state flower, state bird, Silverton/Durango train, etc.
