I agree - I think babies need brighter colors - research says it helps their brains develop.

or...you could make a Quilt of Valor out of it - may need to add more fabric as borders to bring it up to size.

I'm going to put the red, white and blue borders on it like Mad Quilter suggested. The question is whether I am going to cut it into squares and sash it with white and use blue cornerstones. I really like that idea. I've used it before on an I Spy quilt, so I know how to make that one work. Thanks, cactus stitching.

I also remembered today that it might be time to get out a new seam ripper. With all this ripping, I need a nice sharp one.

What size is a quilt of valor?

Yes, this is what also came to my mind.

I would make it into a table runner and two placemats! That way you get the best of it all! :-)

Well, looks like you are good to go with this one. Which is very cool. I love to see these finds finished. Could you please show us when you finish? We would love to see the end result.

I agree with squaring it off and doing red, white and blue borders. Also, I am a firm believer in bright baby quilts. My oldest (30 and a lawyer) still has her bright rainbow and unicorn baby quilt.

Could it be the piecing for a vest?

I think that if you pieced the extra two pieces together, it would make a larger quilt, then I would border it in navy or red, it's perfect for a baby as they love bright colors.

What a find! I agree with MadQuilter - it's going to be gorgeous.

Quote from Quilt of Valor site:

A Quilt of Valor is to be large enough to cover an average-sized adult, with an ideal size approximately 60” x 80.” Finished size can be no smaller than 55” x 65” and no larger than 72” x 90.”
