I've been mostly sticking with my strategy for the year, but I'm not where I'd hoped to be at the end of first quarter. So it was catch up time in April.
The Magnificent Mystery (Meadow Mist Designs) is finally a finished quilt top. The final two border strips were added yesterday. The pattern didn't call for a border, but I usually like to see a frame around the quilt, it looks uncomplete to me when there is not one. I'm thrilled with how this one worked out. It's hard to get the colors right for a mystery quilt, I have no regrets about what fabrics I picked and where they went. It may be my most favorite Meadow Mist Mystery ever.
It's been slow going, but there has been lots of progress so far this year. Linking up with Patchwork & Quilts and Sew & Tell Monday.

It turned out so well!
There is nothing like back pain. I hope you start to feel back to normal soon. Your Magnificent Mystery quilt is beautiful; You are right - your fabric choices and placement are perfect!
Your mystery quilt is gorgeous!
Love how you "framed" the mystery quilt, perfect colors!
Those borders are the perfect frame for the pretty design, Kate! I like the look of the narrow border first, then the wider one. Glad you can still sew even with your back bothering you!
Congratulations on finishing your Magnificent Mystery quilt top. It looks fantastic!
Your quilt turned out beautifully. Sorry about your back. The worst pain I ever experienced was back pain. Hope you feel better soon.
Love your colors used for this pattern. Great finish.
Oh just fabulous!! Love the colors and the border - its perfect! Hope your back continues to get better!
Your piecing looks so good. I'm on the struggle bus with mine. I agree that it's a really great design.
Magnificent Mystery is indeed magnificent. I really like the addition of the borders. Hugs and Blessings.
until you can't really bend well you don't really get how many times we bend over in a day - even just to take things out of the dish washer or them in - reach in the bathroom for the low shelf where you keep the extra toilet paper lol, put your socks and shoes on and the list goes on and on - and then your drop the soap in the shower! oh no can't pick it up - I hope you get to feeling better soon.
Nice finish. Did you see the note for her next mystery?
