    Very nice....I was just asked to do a King quilt. They want me to make it instead of buying one at Sears...think is...1. no glue how much it will cost me, not including labor...so sad that they make them less then the fabric we can buy. 2. not attachment or love for homemade...so they might as well buy at Sear...3. just no appreciation...I gave him a king quilt I make and spent a lot of time on...he told me to just tell him how much ....which I did not..they would never believe me...so torn...and he wants another one.
