    Any of your old clothes lurking where you found your 1st attempt??
    How about something that doesn't fit anymore? Something you're over wearing? Think outside the square.

    Don't you dare say that sucks! Its absolutely AMAZING for a 6 or 8 year old!

    You should treasure that forever. Think of those tiny little hands sewing this.

    You really should preserve it someway. Wouldn't you love to have a quilt your great great grandmother done at 6 years old? I know I would.

    Ok how about.... I put on a thin black border, followed by a wide red one, back it and quilt it?

    That way I can keep it more or less the way it is now.


    OR....

    I can go with you guys who suggested using it as a center and working outward until its either a lap or bed quilt....


    Gah.. can't decide

    Hang it on a design wall or on your bedroom wall with some straight pins for a few days. Each day you walk by it, your feelings about how to finish it might change or solidify. When I'm not sure, I try not to make any quick decisions...I always end up regretting the fast decisions.

    I would mount them and frame it, and then hang it in my sewing area :D:D:D
