If not, try it. My friend puts her's together like that and it looks awesome!!!

That might help to break up the color for a more dramatic look. <br /><br />Another idea is to break it up in two small baby quilts and use soft color strips and/or put Disney character stripping between the blocks, use that same disney material for the backing. It sure would be a fun baby quilt. Different too! :)<br /><br />And finally you could sew it like it is and make a picnic blanket out of it, cause it reminds me of the red check table cloths, for some odd reason. ;DTrishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704434765943152802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451108506765377069.post-41225632480065867512009-11-19T07:43:44.197-05:002009-11-19T07:43:44.197-05:00Love the blocks!
