I love that purple and green. (Those are 2 of my colors in the Orca Bay mystery quilt. lol) The novelty blocks are going to make a wonderful baby quilt. Especially if it is used as a "Tummy-Time" quilt. The bright colors and prints will entertain the little one for hours. The last baby quilt I made was for our newest granddaughter with lots of machine embroidered blocks. A friend told me it was too pretty to be used and should just be a wall hanging. NOT! It was definitely to be used; and it will be used and probably worn out. But that's ok. That's what it was made for...USE.Kathy Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157496191293134964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-71042248107368274392011-11-29T12:13:57.678-05:002011-11-29T12:13:57.678-05:00Cool!
