    The blacksmith silhouette on the fiery background is beautifully dramatic.

    oh my - OH MY!!! My son is a blacksmith and I used to have to haul him to all the blacksmith meetings. Yes they do have that chart for forge welding and other heats. I don't think there is a blacksmith alive that wouldn't want that quilt. I'm hoping the edges are centered to fit on the bed with out hanging over so he can read the words. Maybe it is a wall hanging? It is perfect for a blacksmith in any case. One night we were staying at a black smith conference and the evening sky looked about like that. I thought the sky look would make a cool quilt, too. I love it when the arts meet.

    Holy Cow ... this is very creative and personal! I'm sure your friend will appreciate the extra effort you put in. May it provide a little extra energy to fuel his battle with lymphoma!

    Thank you for the kind words. It is a throw size so he can take it to his treatments to keep warm. And yes, he was delighted with his quilt!

    Very interesting. I had no idea about temperature and heat, though it makes sense. He'll appreciate your research and the work you put into it!
