He loved the pattern and the choice of fabric (dark purples, black, a sprinking of rust, orange, and yellow (what was I thinking?). He wanted that wall hanging for him, so I let him put the design together in the arrangement he liked.

This wall hanging is displayed on his office wall and gets lots of positive comments. Oh well! I am trying to send an image of the quilt.
