Here if my finished Mystery Quilt. I love the way it turned out. I stitched in the ditch around the inner and outer stars and then did free motion meandering in the pinks and the border. That was a first for me, and although it is far from perfect, I am really happy with the way it turned out. I attached 2 prints - the first is the whole quilt and the second is an up close of the free motion quilting. Can't wait for the next Train Ride.

Oh so pretty. Mine is still in the top stage but it's third in line to be quilted. Really need to get the grands's done first. Have a great day. Retta

I agree, sans the white it looks awesome, white pulls away from the effect~

Using an even number is putting all reds on one side and all greens on the other. I think using three will distribute the colors better. Think of a braid in a head of hair.

How do you print out the instructions with pictures included without all junks included? I tried printable version but it does not include the attached pictures.

I really like your quilt, Chester, it turned out awesome. I am almost done, I was running behind, I got side tracked and had to wait for a Freighter of UFO's to pass, but now I am back on track!

Will post pictures later, my camera is still buried in back of PU trying to get stuff put away after camping trip!

Here is mine--finally. It still needs quilted. Not sure what to do for that. I really had a great time doing this. I had purchased the charm packs when I first began quilting in 2010. Didn't know what I was going to do with them. I like the way they turned out. Thanks for looking.
