She recently wrote a blog on Kona Solids and I think your quilt is fantastic and would be a great project to showcase on their blogsite. If you are interested check them out. I am going to send a link to her of your Penguin quilt. (I am a Penguin Classic book reader, collector, lover. I would love that quilt. Your sister is lucky beyond the stars!
