Thank you. They chose red, black and white as colors for their living room. I wanted a quilt that they could curl up together and watch tv when it gets cold.

Haha! Get in line. Actually, my sister and I swore this would be the one and only quilt like this that we did. It was a booger!

She's doing much better. It was quite a nasty break. Had to have surgery on it and is going through physical therapy. She has figured out how to sew in the "gimpy" mode some but also realized that she can't use a rotary cutter until she heals better. (It, of course, was her right shoulder.) She's a retired orthopaedic surgeon and LOVES to be in her craft room daily! She will be joining this board before too long.

When she called to tell me about her shoulder, I felt horrible for her but my inside voices kept saying..."Ask if she finished the quilt".

The quilt is beautiful - a perfect choice for a male and/or female recipient.

Did she break her shoulder QUILTING?

No, actually she was multi-tasking. On the phone, going into another room, tripped over a little dog and fell into a door jam.

That is a beautiful quilt. You can tell they love it. I love black, white and red for a quilt. It is a striking color combo. Great job and thanks for sharing.
