A few years ago my friend, Janine, and I were down in Southern Utah and stopped at a quilt store (big surprise!) and Janine purchased a quilt kit for a cute little baby girl quilt. It sat on her shelf for a couple of years or more. Then she gave it to me thinking I would get around to it quickly. Not the case.
So today, probably 3 years later, I pulled it out and started cutting, sewing and pressing. A couple of hours later I have this baby buggy quilt flimsy ready to go to the quilter! It went together quickly until I got to the outside border. If I would have cut it the way they said it would end up with baby buggies going sideways. Now I just can't do that so I matched and pinned and sewed until hopefully it isn't too noticeable that the borders are pieced so that all the buggies are right side up. I think Janine will be surprised that a kit she purchased several years ago will end up for her next little granddaughter.......due in a few weeks.
Happy Quilting! Lynda
