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.
great find! please show us the finish when done
