My brother passed away last week.

Dee, if your daughter should decide that she does not like red when the quilt is done, I have the correct address of were you will need to send it.

Ooooo, aren't you the sly rascal, Miss Jo. 

(You beat me to it!)

sorry, she is very much the red lover.  but nice try

Thanks, Sue.  I really did have fun working on it.  Yes, my scrap stash is pretty healthy!
