    Thanks for all the wonderful comments, now my head won't fit through the doors. Please keep them coming, I mean really, don't stop. LOL! I have spent about two hours researching methods of applying a hanging sleave and I'm confused. Some blogs say nine inches and others say eleven to make the tube. What's the best method?

    As soon as I pick my jaw up off the floor, I'll respond... OK... that's better. I, too, vote for "Hello Gorgeous" because if you look "gorgeous" up in the dictionary, this is what you'll see there! Wow! Your brother is one lucky guy. Are you looking for any new siblings? LOL! Great, beautiful job!

    Striped batiks??? Hanging sleeve??? He must have a huge wall to hang this beauty on. Will have to "PIN" this one for sure.

    It is a really fine quilt. I love the fabrics and embellishments you used to complete the quilt. I don't have a name that does it credit. What is the intended use of the quilt. That might suggest a name. Hmm Joyful plates?

    Wow is right! It is gorgeous. I don't think I have seen striped batik fabric before.

    Outstanding job. It is so beautiful and reminds me of a rainbow. " Dresden Rainbow" would be a nice name.

    Absolutely gorgeous. Did you use a pattern or is this your design?
