I really thought you were going to say that your husband wanted a welding mask but couldn't get one... so you sewed him one...

My (shockingly large) stock of pdf patterns has a real advantage here, because if they were lost ina fire I could just re-download them!
My top pattern is StyleArc's Kim, followed by StyleArc's Jules (a recent addition, and I have only made one - and that's a (wearable) toile - but I LOVE it). Then there's a pattern that was originally based on Lekala 4517, but now looks just like StyleArc Harlow - it fits and flatters me incredibly well.

That is a secret known only to me and my sewing room. And I only have a vague idea.

310 in Britain with my surname, none in Ireland. 67 in England and 22 in Ireland with my maiden name, and my Mum's maiden name doesn't even have a listing.

I think @sewingj is right. As I understand it quilts as coverings are not recommended for under 2 year olds these days.
They are gorgeous!

Block of the Month 2020 / Re: February's BOM

As I understand it (so no guarantees of being right!) the sashing is exactly what you say - the strips between blocks. Background fabric is the backgrounds to blocks like the flying geese one (April?) and may or may not be the same as sashing, as you please.
I like the effect of having bothe the background and the sashing the same, but there is just as strong an argument for not doing.
I love your fabrics.
