    Would you believe I have a wall that would fit your quilt quite well. tee hee
    Yeah, you and Wolfkitty! They neglected to put a sleeve on the back so I will have to add one. I actually have a retro cabinet in my dining room that is a golden orange with purple knobs, this quilt will look incredible next to it!

    It's very eyecatching....you'll have to show us when it's up, the cabinet/wallhanging combo is intriguing.

    Here's the cabinet and the quilt together. Will have to put a sleeve on the quilt before I can hang it, which will have to be soon because the cat is eyeing it. What is it about cats and quilts anyway?

    (see the cat in the lower right corner?)

    That is a steal, and is gorgeous with that cabinet.
    I used to work in an antique shop that carried a lot of retro, but never saw one even close to yours. That is as unique a piece as the quilt. Made for each other! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
