    yeah this is what I would do. It wouldn't break your heart if something happens to it!

    The navy blue flowers that are already in the quilt would really bring out the colors and the pattern.

    It's a ruse. He isn't really mad, just needs to leave home. Hang in there, empty nest is coming!!
