That was a fun find. It is wonky. When that was made there probably were no rotary cutters and no cutting boards. Imagine all that being cut by a pair of scissors. It truly is wonky but if you turn it over and only look at your quilting, it is a piece of art.
Edited to add: I do find it very charming in a childlike way. Any baby will enjoy laying on that and looking at all the colors. They don't care about matching corners and seams.

Washed it in the washer and dried it in the dryer. Obviously, put it away for years. Had to do some minor repairs around the edge where it pulled apart. Trimmed lots of threads from the back after washing and drying. Really don't know how long it was in the attic. Marcella was in a wheelchair for years before she died.

Wow, love how your practice paid off. Do you use a domestic sewing machine for your quilting or sit down or long arm? I recently ran across Angela Walter's video for this. Planning to try it soon. Just hope it will end up looking as smooth as yours. I use my DSM for FMQ.
