And yay for Dawn, saving wildlife and quilts. They should feature quilts in an ad. This quilt must have taken a lot of planning. Perhaps you addressed this in your boat life posts, but how do you layout something like this? Is your guest bed also your design bed? (Oh, and you had me at partial seams.)
