He didn't choose the colors. I tried to get him to go with me since I bought most of the fabric in his town, he just told me nothing "girly". It was actually a little hard to find something since he's not into fishing or hunting. Well, he would be into fishing if he had the time. Those teenage girls keep him hopping. But I found the civil war fabric and figured this would work. Still has lots of flowers on it, but they are small. The ladies at the LQS where he lives are extremely nice and are getting to know me even though I don't pop in but 3-4 times a year.

Looks great. The thought of quilting a King size is overwhelming. Just finished FM on for a friend, So glad it is behind me!
