20th Mystery Quilt Train Ride
#537
RJ is really like your scrappy quilt & all the colors than you put in it. I’m a little surprised because usually I’m picky about having coordinated fabrics but this particular pattern is really leaning itself to all different kinds of looks.
aunt59 I like ALL your color combos, including the total blue one. The red & green together should make a fun lap quilt to throw over the sofa every year at Christmastime. Or the red, blue, & white a great one for Fourth of July for a summer picnic. You have so many options.
I finally found a border fabric for mine but I’m going to wait to put it together before I put a picture up. I hope it looks as good as I hope it will.

Well I finished my flimsie & here it is. Unfortunately I liked it better before without the lighter border. I really, really didn’t like it until after I put the second dark purple border on it. If I had to do it all over again I’d add another row & another column too to expand the quilt in size, add a different second border of a darker combo of cool colors or just a deep teal & then add the second purple border again. I just couldn’t find the right fabric for it. I do love the way the quilt center came out. Judy’s Mystery train was a real success. It’s given me the incentive to try another mystery quilt called Good Furtune coming up that’s starting Black Friday by Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville.com, if I can find the color & yardage of fabrics she says is needed for it. There’s a link under the “Main” section here on the board if any of you are interested. Bonnie Hunter's 2018-19 Mystery Quilt "Good Fortune"
