Found my tribe!
Oh my gosh, thanks so much to Bridget from Western New York! I hope to someday have a grandbaby, and can only imagine the fun that kid would have searching the complexity of this quilt!!
And thank you all for your responses. I didn't check back here until now, because I don't see timely (or any) responses on most (positive, non-political) sites. I'm sitting in happy discovery that I've found my tribe!
Signed, Bridgett from Western Washington
