I'm so glad, sunshine. I showed the antique quilt to my fellow moderator at another forum, and he noticed the antique quilt had a touch of red in the gold. I looked again, and he was right, it did, but it was too late. I'd already cut the light and dark yellow and gold strips. I did, however slightly remedy it by adding a definite schoolbus bright red-gold print as the inner border and a sunflower border with its own propensity toward a redder sun yellow (although not red in the true sense, but leaning that way just ever so slightly) I'm not sure the scanner did it justice, but for what it's worth, I am dedicating the quilt to you, Sunshine, for a child in our rural county whose lot it was to land with at least one parent in the local shelter for abused families. It's to honor your long career in patient care and fighting disease with all your might and helping people like me who are fighting mere pain and lethargy from fibromyalgia (and other autoimmune type diseases) to keep fighting and beating back our diseases, one symptom at a time, and winning against the odds.The Sunshine Steps to the White House quilt is now in only 6 parts. It is coming together nicely, and I love it.
All I can show is one of the 6 junctions of four squares. They're all alike this one:

WOW! That's sensational. Yellow makes me happy!
Maybe the best cure is just that--lick the symptom and feel your heart saying "hip hip hooray" for the joy of victory over physical pain and other annoyances.

WOW! I'm truly honored~!
The red just makes it 'feel' warmer! I like it.
(My old high school friends don't understand why I like it out here in the boonies all alone except for my cat and visits to the kids. I just tell them, 'I've seen a lot.')
