Here's another top I threw together over the last few days, recycling some blocks a quilter in my area didn't want anymore. I need to add a border, but I don't have any fabric that would go with it. I think these are 70's style fabrics mainly and I'm hoping over the next few months something rather inexpensive will scream out to me. All of these blocks were hand pieced and although they are far from perfect, I wanted them to go to use. I think with a neat border it will make a sweet baby quilt.

Very cute baby quilt, for sure! Nice idea of putting the seam ripper in the photo so we get a good idea of how large the quilt is! A border would be good to finish it off and to make it a bit larger. Maybe a solid pastel color not already in the quilt blocks or an 'off-the-wall' print fabric since there are other similar fabrics in the blocks?
