So here is how the baby quilt is coming out. Each of the sashings has a wide piece of pink rick-rack basted to it. This is still being worked on....don't worry if there are some places that seem to be missing sashing or rick-rack.
I took everyone's advice, and decided to let it all hang out. Now, if any of you are trying to decide if you want to do this to a baby quilt, it's just fine, BUT remember that my sashings are 6.5" long. And with all those blocks, it took a total of FIFTEEN yards of rick-rack! Gosh! What would I do without my JoAnn's 50% off coupons? LOL
Now, I am going to pack it away until next year. I MUST get the binding on my mother's quilt before Christmas, and this baby quilt wouldn't leave me alone. After the binding, I think I should probably fold down my machine, and get the last decorative quilt up in the sewing room. This is the room where we will be celebrating Christmas with my family on Saturday, so it needs to be a little more tidy, I think!

Sharon this turned out so SWEET !! Perfect for the little girl. I like the sashings how you did. Not to busy for me:c)
Yeah, that's a LOT of rick-rack, but it looks FUN. Good luck getting your Mom's quilt done in time.
I love the way this is turning out! Gives me more ideas to play with :)
I'm so glad you decided to go for all the rick rack in the sashings - I love how it looks! This baby quilt is sooo adorable!
Your baby quilt is turning out just splendid, Sharon! I love it!
The quilt looks great Sharon, just right for a baby girl I think.
And packing it up until after sounds like a great idea! Time to kick back, finish that last minute binding, and relax!
