Thank you for the advice to try several options on scratch. I am not a practical thinker, and that practical advice was just what I needed! We (my daughter and I) picked something entirely different. I have so enjoyed relaxing by looking at others' work, so despite the amateur quality of me work (it doesn't bother me, I have to admit!), I would like to return the many favors and post the "post-pictures". I thought about quilting more in the snowballs but wanted to keep it softer for the baby.
Many thanks again. You all helped me over a hump.
