In addition to the blocks, she had some of the blue vehicle print and some of the stripes. I was able to get just enough out of the vehicle print to alternate blocks. Two of the vehicle blocks are pieced, but I don't think that it's super obvious.
I used the stripes for the binding and still have a little left. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I did some straight straight line quilting on the diagonal, and I eyeballed it. When I had it laid out on the dining room table, Husband looked at the quilting and remarked that I'm getting better. I appreciated the praise, but explained that it might be because Snow pieced the blocks, so they were more likely to be accurate to begin with :)

What a wonderful idea to pass on a UFO to get finished up by someone else. Someone will truly treasure this quilt.
