The quilt is quite large by newborn standards but the bordering had to happen this way! The quilt finished at 50"x64" with the kaleidoscope blocks measuring 7" each, the green border strip finished at 3-3/4" and the pinwheels were 4" finished. I paper-pieced Keziah's name for the top border and extended the "K" and "h" blocks to make up the difference in the border measurement. I didn't want to repeat the name in the bottom border so I paper pieced "2010" instead and extended the outer blocks to fill in the gaps of the pinwheel blocks. This was the first time that I worked with wool batting - hot work during the latest heatwave! The cats loved the wool though and there were quite a few soggy bits during the quilting. I had intended to use a circular quilting path for the kaleidoscopes but changed my mind after 'finding' the backing of diamonds in my stash. Pictures of the quilt and also my QI's doing their jobs can be found in the "Finished is Good" album at
