In my clean out I found a couple Scrappy Baby Quilts I made several years ago.
They both use the same fabrics.
This one is very busy Log Cabinish.
I decided to just tie them and have ready for a new baby (no announcement).
Here is a close up. I used various widths of fabric and cut at angles on some sides.
I like it o.k., but it is way busy!
This is the 2nd one. Just a Square in a Square. I like it much better.
They both have the same plaid back.
At least they are finally on the finished side of my stack.
This one.....however.....I haven't liked since I put the border on it.
I love the border fabric but it just doesn't look right to me.
Yesterday our Wednesday Bee met and Suzanne showed her Bricks and Stepping Stones
Quilt. It had a small orange border than a larger black border.
LOVED IT!
So today I will be unpicking 4 long sides of this flimsie and
looking for a blue border and a black border to add.
I'm sure I'll be much happier.
Happy Quilting! Lynda

I like both your baby quilts and I think busy is good for a baby; lots to look at. Good for you for taking that border off which you don't like. Otherwise it will always irk you!
Happy un-sewing. I think, if it doesn't feel right now, you will never like the quilt, so it's better to spend some time changing it, even if actually unpicking it is no fun.
