Looks SO great, Eddie:)!!! I, too, am doing that quilt...but in the process of "collecting" fabrics...I'm going to use reds/greens wools on cotton backgrounds. Am in the process of finishing up some other projects and will post when I get started. I'm a BB lover, too. Your fabric choices are super....will be another beauty:) Thanks for keeping us in the loop. I esp. like the "background" story of why things are the way they are....makes it an even more interesting quilt.
