This is absolutely spectacular news! Thanks so much for passing it on!

Nope. The color isn't the same as on-line, so that set me rethinking-- on line the Baracks were in blue-tone, but in reality it's black & white. Very, very nice definition on the photos. I might cut them apart & add filler in between to make a quilt. The images aren't conducive to that, though, as they're irregular shapes (an elongated hexagon would do for most of them).

*ponders* Oooh, it might be cool to use shades of off-white in the log cabin pattern around cut outs- so it would be Barack in the White House! :^) MMmm... there are other 'house' blocks...mmm... that would be nice, I think.
