First I want to thank all the people that so willing helped me in getting the colors right. I would have been very upset with myself if my son opened this up and asked, "Why is their Green Bay colors on my quilt?"

Also for my hubbies friend that came by and saw the border and ask" Why are you putting a Court Jester border on the beautiful quilt?" After I just spend 2 days busting my butt getting the diamonds to come out so pretty, my mouth hit the floor. I stood back and took a good long look at it and they were right, I t did look like the hat on the Jack or a Court Jester. So I had to change up that part to.

Since all these changes and all the trails of making the diamonds just right, I had run out of fabrics to do to much so I ended up doing it very plain.

I AM SO GLAD THIS IS DONE!!! well the top is.

Please do give honest opinions because without them this quilt would have been a disaster.

Again, THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!!!

this is 103 by 103 but will finish at 100 by 100

Just beautiful! I know your son is going to love it! And I'm with him, why would you put green Bay colors on a perfectly beautiful quilt? LOL! Now, if they were Bronco colors, I could understand!

LOL my hubby asked me to put Green Bay colors on the back but he was just kidding me.
But he really wants me to put a One Eyed Purple People eater on the back because he said that is what they were called years ago.

I told him we will see.
