Thanks, I'm glad you like it, if you go to the search and put in "tube quilt" you'll see alot of them, even a link for the tutorial. They're very easy and fun to do.

Thanks to all for the kind words and encouragement. :D

I don't know if this is going to end up being way too busy or if it'll come out alright, but right now I really love it. Also, everything still needs squared up, but I just wanted to show you guys the colors. I'm planning on doing a really simple, plain border so as not to give people a heart attack when they look at it. :P
