    A couple days ago I asked for suggestions to make a quick quilt for our grand-niece (she's 8) that we'll be seeing Christmas Eve. We were invited to their house unexpectedly and I wanted to take her something because presents were going to be opened. I had some fabric in my stash but didn't know what would be quick. Many said to just use it as one piece and add borders, so that's what I did.

    I made it today and I think it came out pretty cute. She takes dance classes so I think she'll like it.

    Thanks everybody for the suggestions :)
