Christmas quilt with a couple of vintage fabrics

I used two fabrics--the blue/green/yellow print of chickens, mushrooms and bees and the red/blue tulip print--from this vintage quilt I took apart (http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...c-t249983.html) to include in this quilt I just finished. It is about 40x50. Not perfect, but it's done! I am calling it 'Nostalgia' and it is a Christmas gift for a friend that loves to visit flea markets and resale shops.

I plan to sew on the yoyos/buttons in the middle of the plain muslin squares before gifting.

I love what you've done with that thrift shop quilt! Your quilt turned out really nice, the original was just too disorganised (could you call it that?)!
