The idea was an d is a good one. The person in charge of this one, though, wasn't a quilter. The fabrics given out for the blocks was very thin & loosely woven. Colors are pretty-- pastels! The background was an argyle printed flannel. 1st thoughts were to trim up the blocks & try to piece them into some kind of top & back it with the flannel. Closer inspection of the blocks revealed several that would have had part of the creativity cut off because there was no allowance for the seam.
Yesterday, the box of Steam-a-Seam lite spoke to me and made a fairly easy, fairly pleasing quilt! I put the steam-a-seam on the blocks & then used the pinking rotary cutter to straighten the edges. The block were then repositionable until I decided where to leave them.
The picture below is the parents, of course. The block below that was hand cross-stitched. The heart to the left was machine embroidered.
It's been said that theres no ugly quilt. This one turned out cute, too!
