Sounds great! You have it focused and definitely your topic fits the theme. Considering the "brave" in "brave, new world" you might show a rotary cutter and the bravery of using one (chuckle, chuckle, making a point that your grandmothers only had to worry about scissors, pins, and needles). You might discuss that it's brave to stand at the cash register of a quilt shop with your eyes open and see the carnage on your receipt. "I'm sorry, Mrs.Encinitas, but your 5 yards of fabric, package of batting, and spool of thread comes to "$829.45."
