Your quilt is beautiful! I would finish it and then find it a loving home if you don't want to keep it.

Oh that is beautiful! Reminds me of a bright late spring day, with the flowers all just bursting to stretch their faces to the sun!

I got an instant private message from a very nice person "elizabrat" that we all share good and bad. So I promised I would post a picture. Please don't look too closely. :D

I immediately finished it so here goes. This is a piece of children's fabric (see upper corner) that I got on sale and didn't by enough of it.

Major dilemmas
1. Should I toss it or try to do something with it? I could donate it away as I have no babies but would anyone want it.
2. If I finish it how should I quilt the top?

I have another one that I started before I finished this one but I'm afraid I have the wrong fabric for that too. :-(

If you don't want it - I have a nun friend who loves to give quilts to kids who have cancer or other illnesses in the large hospital she is associated with. I will be glad to finish it and give it to her. Just add yahoo dot com to my name and email me.
Of course, you can do the same thing yourself.

About the quilting..echo inside or outside the hexagonals or random circles and swirls, or straight line - maybe diagonals? Whatever is easier!

When a kid is concerned, there is no such thing as a "wrong fabric" !

You could finish it and donate it to the local crisis pregnancy center?

I really like it. I have one I have sewn but never posted either. I was so eager when I started it and after it was done I decided I picked the wrong fabric but so much went into it I gave the book away vowing nnnnnnnever to do another. So it sits on a hanger in my closet. I like that yours is not all over busy and I like the colors.
