I think your brother deserves a nice quilt. If there is a nice machine in it, the neighbor may, too. We are all looking forward to seeing pictures.

Oh! he will be getting a nice quilt. I have been gathering fabrics for a while now. He told me about two years ago or so that he wanted a quilt with a buffalo on it. Believe me that is not the easiest thing to find. I have looked everywhere for fab. with buffalos. I thought I was going to have to use some fabric and make the buffalo. I couldn't even find a picture like I wanted. I finally found a brown throw that was curly like fab. and planned to use that, but then I got lucky and found a panel with Buffalos at The Best Kept Secrets site, mammas and babies. The main pic. on the panel has a brown mamma and a baby that is white. When I told him about the brown fab. he said he really wanted a white buffalo. He doesn't know yet about the panel. Now he'll get both brown and white. I hope to get it done by Christmas. I bought two panels so I plan to make it reversible. I already have the panels cut out and some squares as well. I have to finish things for the fall fair first, it is the first week in Oct.
I guess you could say I am really prejudice where he is concerned. He has been like this since we were kids, doing things for me. He truly is a GREAT brother, and I wouldn't trade him for any other. I will definitely convey all the good coments from everyone. Only one more day until Fri. I am really anxious for Fri. to arrive, Almost like a kid at Christmas lol.
