Finally I took another although my helpers had left by then. <br />It is a deep, personal joy that all my children love quilts. I hope their children do, too. So glad to know yours have the same love.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-83296150263781604772016-09-01T02:15:29.955-05:002016-09-01T02:15:29.955-05:00I like how the plaids work in this one a lot and t...I like how the plaids work in this one a lot and the colours are nice in both pictures, albeit completely different! How lovely that your son took the quilt home - I always enjoy the thought that our nearest and dearest are ending up with homes full of quilts. :-)Kajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417544341324291385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-8352463591339427192016-08-31T19:16:03.062-05:002016-08-31T19:16:03.062-05:00I could not get both the correct view and colors i...I could not get both the correct view and colors in any photo I took.

I'm sure your Louisiana son will find lots of use for in a couple of months: January and February are wet and cold here!
