the one I need to finish TODAY is from a gal here. She gave it away, it was a roll she'd gotten somewhere. I added one fabric. Very cute. I'd post pictures but with my slow computer, it's just not worth the stress.(to my step great grand daughter)
My DD picked out a couple pieces for her baby and I picked out some. Some still laying around waiting.......
My son's BF's DD picked out her own focus fabric and a few things to go with it. But since she knows nothing about sewing, I added a few tiny prints to finish out the quilt. The design was way larger than I'd ever have chosen so I had to find a way to use the focus fabric best. Ended up making 9" high by 11" long (more or less) pieces with the little prints as sashing.
I'd much prefer to be consulted, because as in above case, the very cute print was not easy to work with. Would never have worked for most currently popular patterns. I did have one piece of 9x11 left and ended up making a precious book bag to match.
Again, not worth the stress to me to post pictures.
