Even though the top looks far from square in this picture (too much wind and uncooperative quilt model again), trust me it is an even 52" x 52". The sashing color of white was an easy choice since I felt that anything else would get lost next to the scrappy blocks.

I'm not sure how I want to have my LAQer friend quilt this one or what color thread to use but since I trust her judgement and she always does a terrific job, I'm not concerned that whatever she chooses will look fantastic.

The neighbor friend mom-to-be-again has absolutely no idea that this will soon be draped over her baby girl's crib but since I am great at keeping secrets, I will continue to do so until she opens the box and sees what is inside. I promise to share those pictures when the happy moment comes.
