I finally finished quilting the mystery quilt. I put a 6" pieced border all around to make it larger. I used my abundance of lights. At first I didn't think I would like the lights, but now that it is finished, the border doesn't compete with the strong center design which is good.
The pieced border took longer than the whole rest of the mystery quilt. I kept asking myself "what were you thinking?"
I regret using polyester batting. It was harder to quilt with all of the poofiness. I couldn't get rid of the wavy border no matter what I tried. (The picture doesn't look very wavy, but I straightened it into submission before taking the picture.
The back was pieced with large squares of scraps.
Thank you for the mystery Barb! This was alot of fun...
