    Good morning this stunning day. I seem to have a knack for finding things that I want to utilize within some of my projects. I am attaching (hopefully) a photo scan of a piece of 100% fabric, in cream with design in it that is actually a very tiny single pin tuck traveling through it. I want to use this as the main square with either a friendship block or even just a 4 patch block between the squares. I am hoping to make a decent sized baby quilt for someone special. I am hoping that if this works, I may be able to add a ruffle border around the outer border. I am hoping that someone may be able to offer input on this for me as I am not sure how it would be quilted. Possibly with a stitch in the ditch along the main tuck lines.

    one is a sample with a four patch inc.

    the other is just the fabric itself.

    I would probably SID around the pintuck block, so that it didn't disturb the look of the pintucks :D:D:D What a great idea to use this fabric!!!

    Your quilt, your rules. If you like it use it. I would pre-shrink every thing first so there aren't any shrinkage issues after the quilt is made.

    This. I wouldn't even touch it, because the pintucks are so elegant and stand-alone.

    thank you all.. sometimes what looks fantastic to you as you see it in your mind's eye, looks a whole different when you start working on it. Thank you all for the input. I appreciate it.

    Blessings if you want them, or hugs if you prefer. I am so easy..
