    Just lovely, Barb! I love the fall colors. It's so different from what we've seen you make the past few months. I particularly like the butterfly. How large is it and what are your plans for it?

    PS I finally finished the Quilt of Valor top. It's like a giant weight has been lifted from my neck. 8)
