    What is the name of the pantograph? Where did you get it, company name? Is it a hard one to follow? Your quilting looks so nice on a busy beautiful quilt. Thanks!

    Is Doris a descendant of one of the Navajo Code Talkers of WWII? I've read about them, but had never seen textile art that commemorates their work. Beautiful work from you and Doris.

    Now for a design like this, I would not mind doing the smaller blocks. This idea works well in the overall design and if I saw this at a show, I would stand in front of it for a very long time, absorbing the design. This is not a boring or simple quilt. You chose a very good quilting design which enhanced it. I just LOVE it when the quilting works with and adds to the original design of the quilt.

    Love, love, love! I always add a few scraps of shirting plaids to my quilts, having a quilt-full of them is a treat to see. Thanks for sharing!
