Some had the rainbow stripes on the outside corners and some had the pink on the corners. Not much I could do with just a dozen that would finish at 4.5". You know my go-to trick to make things bigger is to put blocks on point. But even alternating with a background fabric it would not be big enough for anything but a table topper.
What could I put with it to extend their usefulness? Why, pink paisley, of course!
One Sunday and a bit of Monday and I had a 38" baby quilt.
Back and binding are ready. Finish #18 of 20 in '20.

ReplyDeleteYou said "Pink paisley, of course" and I was all "???" but then I saw the top - I should know to trust you! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Don’t you love a quick (and cute) finish?? I love that orange peel low volume print. Is it current or an older print?
