Probably, I just need to be careful to not let it get too large.

Thanks for the kind words.

Green sounds nice for the narrow one. Next to the green color, I like the purple. JMO

Oh my! That is greatness for a nursing home. Be sure to take the scraps and make a little window valance. If you need to use the curtains that are there, stand on a chair and hand baste the valance to them at the top. I did that for my grandmother's room and it turned out beautifully and she gets so many compliments!

My Mom's quilt never wandered the 7 years she was in the home, mind you we visited every day and I brought it home to launder. However they did manage to switch her glasses with another resident one time, now that was the staffs fault not a residents.
