I had posted a while back looking for batik pattern suggestions, but wanted to finally include a picture. I wasn't sure if anyone see it on the old post, so sorry if I screwed up doing this!
Also, I have included a few yard sale finds and could use suggestions on the baby quilt :)

Should I take the blocks apart? Stitching is not so nice..

We always want things to "look nice", many years a quilt was made for warmth. I guess depends on how you want to use it. I have 3 quilts made for me by my mothers 90+ year old neighbor. She hand stitched all three, a twin, full and queen. The stitches are quite uneven, but the work that went into it is unbelievable.

I would leave it just the way it is. I treasure the things that other people just kick to the curbside. I think about all the time this woman spent stitching this and it makes me want to cherish it like her family should have.
