I just found this top on Monday, got it for $4.99 and it wasn't even on special.

The top is well made and cotton, except for a bad poly border of a close but not quite right maroon. I'll be taking that off and replacing it with a print, I have lots of these 80s maroon and pink pieces, and it will be a good hand project for me to do at group. I should have something good for a back too. As you can see laid out, it's a small queen size.

I think the quilter made a mistake in putting the dark color at the top of the blocks and that it loses a lot of the 3D effect of baby blocks, but my Tuesday group ladies said I was being a bit harsh. But personally I think that is why the top never got finished. I'm not very clever in my quilting design choices but I think I have the skills to enhance this top which will then be for donation.
