I quilted it with simple diagonal diamonds that finished quickly but still have a nice clean look. The quilt pattern is called foursquare like the child's game played on the playground. Each colored block is one corner out of four squares and so the name.
So it is the perfect last minute quilt to gift as a baby shower gift. You might also like the simple square baby quilt pattern.
The backing is from Patty Young's previous line, but I had enough on hand for the backing and I thought it went with the tropical vibe.
