Hi Eddie,
So great to finally see another guy on one of these forums that is a fellow Quilter...I am from Quebec..grew up in Newfoundland on the East Coast of Canada....been involved in sewing and home decor for years but a couple of years ago got involved in Quilting and the rest is history - it certainly is a blast...and you are the first guy that I have seen on the forums except for myself...just wanted to drop and say hi..I think your wife will be thrilled with the quilt - great choice of pattern and fabrics...
Cheers,
Bill

It is done! Below are pics. My lovely wife, Melissa, made the label on her embroidery machine. I gave the completed quilt to her while ago and she said she loved it. I guess I'm in her good graces for a while. :)
