That turned out so cute. What a great way to recycle fabric. Wonderful job.

No, there's no fabric as I just received her blocks. So, I need to find something a bit crazy. Anyone know of any 70ish fabric lines? |
I was just at WalMart tonight and they had a few 70's fabrics there. The peace signs are one I think of quickly .

wait 'til there's a baby. it may be a boy. it will be wonderful with a medium blue print border as well.

I love that you rescued these blocks. You have put them together so beautifully :D:D:D

Here's the finished quilt. I found some fabric that I thought was perfect for the border and I FMQ with hot pink, 30 wt. thread to make it pop. I still need to hand stitch on the back of the binding, but I'm really happy with how this one turned out. I love giving life to other people's dead projects:>

So cute! Your border choice is a great one!

Thanks, I love Valorie Wells fabric!

You picked the right fabric to finish this great piece. It looks very good

Let's just hope these old blocks hold up well in the washer and dryer!
