Cute fire hydrant here. Maybe you can look at the pic and figure out how to make it.
Also, check out the categories section on the side of the page. You may see something that you could do.

Thanks for the link tapper. I am at work (don't tell the boss) I don't have a picture here, but I can post one when I get home
Here is the quilt top...its not perfect but its my first D4P and my first prairie points
Looks perfect to me! How about just getting a 'dalmation' (spotty print fabric for the backing? Babies seem to love dots!
A quilt is like a good life. It's full of mistakes, but, in the end, it looks pretty good.

Done is better than perfect.
Oh, that is cute!! You have done a good job. Anything you do on the back of this cutie will be just right.

If you have enough of the coordinating fabric, an easy back design is to make one or two rows of the D9P blocks horizontally across the back. I like to place this row of blocks about 1/3 way down, not in the middle. Then you can use plain white or other solid fabric for the large 1/3 and 2/3 pieces of the remainder of the back.
I would use flannel with fire trucks on it for the backing.
You can make a giant 9 patch or 4 patch. I usually work with what is left overs. I am planning on making a very large pink ribbon on the back of a quilt for my best friend. Good Luck !!
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
