Thanks, all. Bluebars~ The shower curtain is just top & backing. I brought the backing around to the front so didn't even have borders/binding to deal with. The buttons serve as the 'quilting', though I did consider quilting bubbles or sea grass. Instead I just wanted it done. I did put stiff craft interfacing along the top to give substance while hanging. The holes are just button holes. My hangers don't even require me to take them down to remove so they just slipped through the button hole.

This turned out wonderful. I really like the mix of roses and hydrangeas. I think you have learned how to paint them very well. The ribbon is so cute the way you placed it on there, twisting and turning. Punk

Deedles, I really like the placement of your prep sink. I think it gives you two great areas to prep next to it. I bet you'll end up prepping on the peninsula most of the time and the placement of the sink gives you a nice big area. I like it. I've gotta agree with the visual of the arch over the fridge not really working. I'd square it off so it fits with the rest of the cabinets. Your kitchen is going to be set up a lot like mine. I have a major traffic pattern through mine too. The fridge is in the traffic pattern, while my work area is on the other side of the kitchen. My prep sink makes a nice triangle between the fridge and the microwave and I love it. I find traffic tends to stay completely out of my way while I'm cooking and they stay in that zone between the prep sink, fridge and microwave. With what you've described, and from what I see of your space, I think you'll spend most of your time in the u of your kitchen while traffic stays outside. I really like that part of your plan. This is going to be a great kitchen to work in.

Robbi, nice to hear from you! You have been a busy lady...your quilt is just lovely! Love what you made for your Mom as well. Welcome back...don't be a stranger. v.
