just tie it and enjoy it - a fling around quilt that you won't get hysterical if somebody boogers it up

The navy blue flowers that are already in the quilt would really bring out the colors and the pattern.

It's a ruse. He isn't really mad, just needs to leave home. Hang in there, empty nest is coming!!
