Texan meets Brit

Strangely, of late, many a friend and relative from the great State of TEXAS has decided to marry a Brit (I can name three couples...and know of a fourth who are probably considering tying the knot one day) For the union of a very very good friend, whose wedding took place in London, and I could regretfully not attend, I designed the quilt below. I'm hoping he loves it, I still need to map out the pieces, but have all the fabrics (the colors shown are exact matches to the Kona fabrics I purchased for the quilt)

This Quilt I plan to dub: God Save the Alamo!

Another Idea also came to mind, when I found the quilts below in The Quilt Engagement Caledar Treasury, The first quilt is from 1850, made in Yonkers, NY, and has the following sewn into it:

A Heart I send you Squire Baldwine

Reject it not I do implore thee

A warm reception may it meet

My name a secret I must keep

signed: Old Maid

The Quilt Engagement Calendar Treasury, by Cyril I. Nelson & Carter Houck pg: 96

The idea here would be to have the black top hat, a heart, and a brown cowboy hat beneath. I would still need to draft that option up, so I'm a bit more inclided towards the first option. Below is another version of a 'Hat and Heart' quilt from the 1980's, also in the Quilt Engagement Calendar Treasury, pg 123.

Feedback is welcome, so let me know your thoughts.
