I am waving at the Waves! Great to be working with you all again. This BOOM I'm sending fabric for a patriotic themed quilt. Any color that works for you with this fabric is fine with me. (My stripes have brown in them, too.) Any design for the square will work perfectly with what I envision. It doesn't have to be a patriotic themed block, just patriotic colors. My son who served in the Army will be the recipient of this quilt. Thank you for your creative genius to help me get this quilt done!
