Default Birthing was painful...glad I had c-sections!

Ha. My first " birthing" experiment. And I will say, if I do this again, I will just bind all the angled edges....
Lesson learned-use the same color backing fabric as the fabric on the outside edge of the top! I used a white on white for the backing.
I basted the top to the batting and then SITD to anchor the 2 pieces. Pin basted the backing, right sides together, to the top 2 layers, and stitched around the edges, leaving an opening through which I "birthed it". Took a lot of fiddling and basting to keep the backing edge from peaking out...stitched around the outer edge 1/8". Now I need to decide how to quilt this.....open to any and all suggestions! The snowflake blocks are stumping me.
