It is already quilted. It is a long story. Here goes.

I had yellow all around it making it a queen size quilt. My sister told me to use Crayola washable markers. I don't recommend it. They aren't as washable as they claim to be. Yes, I tried one before I did it. One color did wash out another color did not. I had it half hand quilted. It wouldn't wash out. I had to make a decision on how to salvage it. I decided to turn it into a quilt as you go.

I decided to make a yellow pieced block for it. That didn't work. I turned it into it's own quilt.

That is why I am turning to all of you for suggestions. It seems like everything I have tried has been a failure.

I'll include a couple pictures of the journey this poor quilt has made.

The squares are very pretty...can't wait to see what you do with it.

I love this idea.
