    I just finished the top for the baby quilt I have two weeks to finish (unbelievably short for me!). It was adapted from a pattern for a rag quilt. Well, the seem allowances were originally supposed to be 1/2 inch. Math is not my best quality and neither is thinking straight when I am in a hurry. I just took 1/2 inch off all the squares in the nine patch which made them a finished size of 5 1/2 when I think it should have been a finished size of 6. So I wound up with the arrow parts being 1 1/2 inches to big after I sewed the squares together. I still think it came out ok and I will find something to do with the strip I am sewing out of the scraps. Thank you all for your help in choosing the color placement. When it is REALLY done I will post another pic.
    IT IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL,LIKE SOMEONE SAID JUST DON'T SHOW THE ORIGINAL PATTERN.NICE JOB.

    Why not piece the back with this strip going down the middle? It would really make the back coordinate with the front and be a bit diferent.
