Number Two in the series of quilt toppers made from Nana's scraps is this pink and blue topper. Woops! I see a mistake that I never noticed before. See how in the middle the pink rectangles are on the outside corners? All but one? And the one that is in the upper righthand corner of the lower righthand corner should be in the corner also. Apparently, I sewed the gold-looking print border on the wrong side and it caused me to sew the whole square in sideways. If you don't quilt, it might be a year or two before someone would finally notice and wonder why that wasn't symmetrical.
The Nana Quilt Topper series involves a lot of florals and prints with easter bunnies and eggs. There were plenty of fabrics I could not use because they were voile dotted swiss or some other shirtweight fabric that isn't strong enough to withstand the rigors of quilt life.
This one will go to one of Nana's four beautiful granddaughters--- some of the most gorgeous young women in the Cherokee Nation. Smartest, too.
