Well since the quilt is finished, the baby born and now 6 weeks old, I thought it was high time I came in and shared some photos of the finished item!
I'm pleased how it came up... though the perfectionist in me had to avoid looking at some of the white points  :| of course I worked out the best way to get them lined up when I was 3/4 of the way through piecing the blocks together.
The back side is a fun pebbly print, and I also used this to bind the edges. Finding a backing fabric to suit while in a hard Covid lockdown was interesting, but I got there in the end and I and the recipient are happy!
I absolutely nailed it on the colour scheme, I must know my friend better than I thought!

That is really, really lovely!   :loveit:  And those points look great to me.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I really like the design of those blocks and the way the colors worked out.
