Thanks Annt59 and Hav4boys I also am super excited to see how this quilt comes together! No blocks made today, my youngest son (of two) has been "home" for a few weeks as he moves from Michigan to Utah to go to grad school. I've kept his room pretty much untouched for four years of college, but due to my new quilting obsession told him he needed to clean it out! So far so good....
