    Hope so. We will see. It will be awhile before it is machine quilted, then I put the binding on and send it to the family. We will see what they have to say, if anything.

    Your home town is familiar territory to me. I grew up in Delevan!

    Thanks. I am pretty sure he will like it. Maybe not the grown ups so much, but he will I hope.

    It's all about Vincent, if he likes it that is all that counts.

    I think this is the happiest quilt I have every seen. I agree with most by using a red binding.

    Sometimes when we work on something for so long we just can't see the beauty in it until we put it away for a while and then pull it out again. As far as a suggestion,I personally would remove the outside border and stop with the brown border and use a brown binding of the same color. Granted I can't see the corner pinwheels but I've tried to imagine them in the colors of the quilt and it just wouldn't work for me. I think he will love going to bed at night, looking at his quilt and dreaming about all the things he loves. You were very sweet in trying to please everyone!

    Why not bind it in both red and blue? Then he would have the colors he likes.
