Here is 3 more pictures..One is of my quilt..I may sew another 2-1/2" around the out side yet..Not really sure..Just thinking to my self on that option.. The other 2 pictures are of the flooding that we are going thru.. Not as bad as Col. Junction, or of some of the near by town's.. There is a town, called Oakville, that is totally engulfed by the river completely.It's roughly a 30-45 min., drive from Muscatine, where I live..Anyhow everyone take care.. Don-isewman1

Another picture of the water..The roadway is a 4 way street. 2 in one direction, and 2 the other way.They (the DOT) have cut off alot of highways.. It's making it hard for people to get where they need to go..

Don you do amazing work. I love that quilt. I hope that the rain stops soon and that you can dry out. We also have had a lot of flooding here in Missouri.

Oh Don stay safe and dry. Your quilt is beautiful and I like just the way it is. I keep praying that the rain will stop for a while for everyone so they can start to rebuild and clean up around there. Good Luck.

Don, I have been thinking about you ever since you said you live in Muscatine. I knew all our water would eventually get down your way. Stay safe and dry. Your quilt is very beautiful I love the colors together.

Your quilt is stunning-true craftsmanship shining through.

It is so sad about all the flooding in your area, mother nature can be so cruel. Stay dry and safe.
