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.
Wow! Magnificent Mystery is gorgeous!! You deserve to be thrilled with how it turned out. You chose well on those colors.

ReplyDeleteuntil 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.
ReplyDeleteNice finish. Did you see the note for her next mystery?
