Celtic Solstice
 

My Celtic Solstice is finished. It turned out pretty well, although I'm not in love with my borders. I should have been more creative than just using scrappy strips. Live and learn. I'll have a better plan next time.

This is the quilt that was involved in my tragic washer overload post. If you want to see the before and after of that horror story look here. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...ml#post6608675

Great composition and colours. Nicely done!

I love that quilt I have it on my bucket list will have to look out at the site and see if they still have the instructions - am guessing I should download them before they disappear!

Quiltstringz, I believe the instructions vanish in May or June. Go download them now and you'll have them when you have time.

:)Saw your previous post about washing machine overload, sorry about that but you made it work. It is a completely beautiful quilt and the quilting is lovely. Your border is fine with me. With your next one you can let your creative juices flow and expand to your hearts desire. I think as quilters we are sometimes more critical of ourselves than necessary. Think of yourself more as an actor or preformer. You did your best, and leave it at that!!

very colourful

Mine is really scrappy as well - just went off to the LAQ today. I think it would have been better a little less scrappy - but I like how yours turned out!! I also think I should have used all Batiks - but that is my prejudice and I am trying to use other fabrics. Great job!!

It is beautiful.

I love this quilt! It is beautiful! I would never have thought to put those colors together. It works really well!

I love the vibrant colors and movement in your quilt.

Very pretty!

sure is bright, didn't think a "mystery" could turn out so nice!

Gorgeous!!

Beautiful bright quilt. ....

Your quilt is a sure winner. Inspiriring

It is a beautiful quilt... makes me want to run and start cutting fabric.

I love Bonnie Hunter and her quilts. Your Celtic Solstice is lovely. I have been enjoying seeing all the finished ones. I have the instructions printed and will work on starting it someday. I did Bonnie's Easy Street Mystery, finished it, and entered it in our guild's show, won two ribbons. Thanks for sharing your beautiful creation.

Very nice quilt.

I like the brightness and the edges just fine. Great!

It's beautiful!!!

I also have printed the instructions. I think this would be an excellent wedding gift for my nephew. GREAT JOB !!!!

How did you quilt it?

Thanks for all the lovely comments. Overall the quilt went together more easily than I expected with all those small pieces. For those of you just starting, the chevrons are the worst part. You might try a couple of different methods to create them just to see what works for you.

The center is so stunning, I didn't even notice the borders.

That is a beautiful quilt for sure. Even the tragedy didn't work out that way!!

What a wonderful colorful quilt!

nicely done, glad it was salvaged

Great quilt. I love your color scheme, its so scrappy, bright and beautiful. This pattern just shows itself in all its possible glory.
