You are welcome. Many who read this dwell in cities and have never been around animals on any farm, so just wanted to clarify that point here. Yes, the barb wire is a part of the history of the west and is still used today on farms across America. And it looks good in your quilt; I would not want you to change it, fryguymoore. And you are welcome to use more of it in your quilt. I love the story about the guy who bought up wild mustangs and set them free to roam in the Datoka ranch land of his. I do wonder if he used barb wire on his many miles of ranch land.
