Again, thank you all for the wonderful praise and encouragement. You are all giving me warm fuzzies inside!

Pal - What a fabulous idea to use a tea dye to tone it down a bit! I had completely forgotten the great results I had years ago when I dyed a batch of fabric to get it to blend together, except I used a tan dye instead of tea. I just might try that with this one. Thank you for the idea!
Making two quilts with a muslin backing would have been nice, but I don't have any, and I am determined to not buy any more fabric, and get my scraps under control.

salederer - Excellent point! I was so excited to see that my FMQ went from horrible to just bad as I finished the FMQ on this one. I'm shooting for reaching mediocre on the next one! lol

osewme - TWO!!??!! I started to make a list of my UFO's last year and gave up when I got to 50!
