All of these blocks were hand pieced and although they are far from perfect, I wanted them to go to use. I think with a neat border it will make a sweet baby quilt.
No, there's no fabric as I just received her blocks. So, I need to find something a bit crazy. Anyone know of any 70ish fabric lines?

Here's the finished quilt. I found some fabric that I thought was perfect for the border and I FMQ with hot pink, 30 wt. thread to make it pop. I still need to hand stitch on the back of the binding, but I'm really happy with how this one turned out. I love giving life to other people's dead projects:>
