The blue really brings out the quilting! I can't wait for the next round of pictures!

I love the hint of blue color. I bet it will look even better down the road, but if it were mine, I could stop right here!

Thanks Edwin! I love the hint of blue too, but I want it fully Tangled Up In Blue! Just like Steve's masterpiece. Hopefully today being Friday, Mica will bless me with more pictures!

Coming from the Quilt Master himself, that is a wonderful endorsement! Thanks Steve!

Rusty...... Rusty..... Wake up.!!!!
I'm sure Rusty is asleep but I can't be certain if it's because he is tired or has seen the pictures and passed out.  :-)
It's looking great.

Such spectacular quilt, with Blueburst. Feel like I am at the beach close to the sound of nature and bass!  Congratulations.  It looks quite awesome

Jazzyvee, I know you are shocked that I wasn't checking my build every hour (that is my usual routine!) I have been deathly ill the last 2 days & didn't even feel like getting on my computer to look at the pictures. I went to the emergency room last night with 104.5 fever & I thought I was going to die before I had a chance to play this incredible bass! I'm a little better today but still ill.

Mica, I have already responded to your email, but let me say publicly thank you so much for posting the pictures & for the amazing job y'all are doing on my bass! If it looks this good in pictures I can only imagine how good it looks in person!
