Here are a couple of photos of the finished baby quilt.  I made a few mistakes and learned quite a bit, but I think it looks nice. 
  
I have a couple of the striped squares going the wrong direction, but I think it works.  A couple of the seams don't line up exactly, and next time I will use a layer of flannel in the middle instead of batting. 
  
I am having a lot of fun with this.  I will start my next project today and can't wait. 
 
Thanks for letting me share and offering advice, it's greatly appreciated.
