This is what I finished yesterday. I had taken a Mystery Quilt class and I didn't like the way the top turned out, my colors weren't right and I was not happy with the way it laid (I am a square it up kind of person as I sew, and I didn't do that with this mystery) I know alot of you are going to look at the first picture and think, wow, you didn't like this, well as I said it just didn't laid right and the outer border colors were not working for me. It is not that the pattern was bad, it was an excellent pattern, it was my color choices and not squaring up that caused me problems.

So, even though I wanted to toss the whole thing in the garbage, I decided to take it apart and make use of the fabric some other way. I am much happier with the Reworked version. (I am sure I can find a home for it someday.) However, I could use some ideas....I would like to embroider a few designs on the white blocks and maybe the solid green blocks. It seems the quilt top needs alittle something extra. Any ideas!
