Well, I've got my SIL's quilt apart and my plans have changed. Once I got the two rows off, I found that the 4 x 5 blocks was actually a nice size and could be used as a lap quilt OR a wall hanging, PLUS that left me two small 4-blocks for each wall hanging/table topper (1 block each just didn't do it justice). I've decided to hand-quilt each 1/4" from each seam. Oh, and a small blue/red border with the extra fabric. I think it will make it 'pop'.

AND, speaking of seams, did this one ever have seams!! I was a bit perplexed taking if apart. Still can't figure out how the woman sewed it, and why she used such a small stitch length, but I'll tell ya, this baby wasn't gonna unravel!!

I'll keep you updated as I progress, and my 'goal' is to have all three finished by SIL's birthday in June. At least that's the plan at this point.
