Baby quilt, Need help
Comments (8)Why not just use a wide border of the light color? It's just my opinion, but a quilt border is like the mat on a picture. You probably wouldn't mat a painting or photo with 3 identically sized mats. I would do one of the dark colors, about an inch wide, then the outer border (the light) about 3 inches wide. Piece your fabrics, if necessary, on the diagonal, and the seam will hardly be visible....See MoreNeed help with baby quilt
Comments (7)I thought whole cloth too. But if piecing is what deb wants to do, she could choose a some dark & medium prints based on the colors in the more elaborate print, use the elaborate print for the backing, and piece a top with the small all-over print....See MoreNeed creative help...

Comments (15)The sentimental value of the dress seems to be your friend's, not necessarily her daughter's. She seems to be finding a reason NOT to cut it up even though she says she wants to. Personally I think placing sentimental value on some thing for future generations is just putting a burden on them. How many of us have something socked away that we don't like,have absolutely no use for but hang on to because a previous generation harped on how lovely,valuable,sentimental it was? That stuff is pounded into us from childhood and then we end up being guilt tripped into accepting and hanging onto the item. Then it gets passed on until someone finally has the guts to get rid of it. It's a dress. It's just fabric. The only one it really truly meant something to was the one who wore it. If your friend likes it so much then maybe she should make something for herself out of it. The grands won't care. I'm assuming Great Grandma is no longer with us. If that's the case the grands will never have even known this stranger who left them this this piece of cloth they're supposed to cherish....See Moretoolgranny

7 years agoPinterest should have a sizeable group of ideas for baby quilts and searching just for jungle themes will narrow the choices. The Mar/Apr 2016 issue of Quiltmaker magazine has the cutest zebra quilt and free pattern w/instructions.
