    I'm making quilit for a grandma shower gift, the baby boy was born yesterday (early) the shower is aug 6th. I can't decide whether to add the football ribbon to break up the pinwheels or leave it off. I thought I needed something to break up the squares but somehow it looks good without. my dh likes the ribbon added. I'm not for sure now. What to finish tonite, so I can start other projects.
    The dog fabric is for the backing. Ribbon Off or On??????

    I say off also. you do not know how that ribbon is going to
    wash and baby quilts get washed a lot. ribbon really adds nothing to the pretty quilt.
