(Just a little side note, you know?)<br />The quilt! I never liked olive, the vegetable or the color, but I can occasionally eat one or two now. I'm wondering if I could quilt with it. I absolutely love it in your quilt. Mixed with the other soft colors, the solids and, especially, the shirt fabrics, it's not quite so sour as I generally think of it. You've included just the right amount (percent? ratio?) to keep it from becoming overpowering but it's still an important color in the whole of the quilt. You handled Ann's challenge with finesse!<br />Everything about the quilt says comfortable, cozy and quiet, "come on and curl up." Including the quilting lines, so you can quit fretting over them.

All of a sudden we want to finish it any way possible just to get it out of the way. Then, it suddenly becomes appealing again - like we're seeing it for the first time. I don't know about you but I'm pretty fickle - ha! Your quilt turned out really nice.
