    That is Rusty. He was about 10 months old when this was taken. He was on top of a 10 foot ladder looking down. He is just a mischievous as the picture looks. He is 2 1-2 now and into any and everything.. worse than a 2 year old! LOL

    This is not a collection I would choose, but then again, it is not for me. I think you have done a great job with the block and can hardly wait to see the finished product. We could be wowed.

    It sounds to me like none of the people involved will really appreciate the work anyway, so why not just sew the camo on the front and the orange on the back with a nice finish on the edges. Then when the baby is three or four and they throw it on the ground for their dog to lay on it won't matter so much. Just a thought.

    OMG! Quite the opposite! My daughter loves what ever I create and wants me to start selling baby quilts. If anyone, she does appreciate what goes into making a quilt as she has been there from the beginning design, picking out the fabric, cutting and really appreciates the talent it takes to accurately sew the pieces together and have them come out with matching points and intersections, Oh she truly does appreciate this as she says " I can't do this, I have tried and I have given up!" This was a challenge, and she knew it before asking as she knows I can't resist a challenge or one of her requests.

    I would have never picked this combo of fabrics, but I think it turned out nice, it even surprised my DH who thought I was not going to come up with anything that would look good. Just goes to show that you can make any fabric look good if you make a Dresden plate!

    I fully intend this to be pitched onto the ground and have the baby play on it, I wouldn't have it any other way!! It, as the baby, are 100% washable!! LOL I make my quilts to be used and I don't put a restriction on their use as long as they get used and not hidden away in a closet.

    Off to work on the blocks!
