Of the photos I've looked at, people with scrappy quilts have gone both ways with the cornerstones -- constant and scrappy. It looks nice either way. I've been picturing something less bright than my block aquas for the cornerstones and am still considering what fabric to use.

I owe Bonnie a big apology. This is my third BH mystery quilt and they all put me way out of my comfort zone but I always learn something. I too was disappointed at the reveal. It was way too busy for me. Then I realized I put the green and black block strips together wrong. I also had decided to use solid yellow as a replacement for the center square. Finally I simplified the boarders. I did this because I was under a time constrant to get it done!
This quilt is a prayer quilt. I prayed for my friends while I worked on it. He battled leukemia and finally, after 2 stem-cell replacement attempts, passed away just before the reveal. They lived in PR and were in NYC since April for the treament. She has now returned to PR and I am sending this out tomorrow.
Oh, reason for the apology? It has become my favorite quilt! (Even though I have spotted one block done wrong!) Sorry, can't get picture to post.
