I finished the quilt top. I love the pattern but after making this big size quilt with so many small pieces I think I'm going to be making big block quilts for a long time. It was tedious to press all those seams. I will layer it tomorrow and do simple fmq, enough to put binding on. I will do more quilting after the guild challenge display at a local quilt show.

I started with a narrow cheddar border around it but took it out. I just didn't like the look of double borders.

Great Job ! Congrats on continuing with all the small pieces :)

Wow. That turned out beautiful. I like it better without the cheddar border, too.

That quilt is gorgeous! I understand about the tedious small blocks but big blocks have drawbacks too. Can't hide quilting mistakes in the big blocks so much, lol.

I really like your color choices. It's a great quilt.

beautiful quilt. so complicated and turned out so well.

Normally I would like the inner border, but in this case I think you're right to take it out. The overall effect of the blue border is to make the center seem to float. It's very beautiful.

Your quilt is beautiful. I kinda liked the cheddar border. But, it looks great without it too. It might have been too much after awhile.

Your quilt is wonderful - I, too, like it much better without the 2nd border.

BeverlyH 09-16-2012 07:53 AM

I like the extended border. Very pretty quilt!

kristen0112 09-16-2012 07:58 AM

Beautiful work! I really like the cheddar border but that's just my opinion.

BellaBoo 09-16-2012 08:00 AM

I started on the quilt Aug 23. It went together faster then I thought. I didn't work on it every day so it is a very doable quilt to have made in a few weeks.

Audball 09-16-2012 08:25 AM

Which mystery is this. It would be a nice one for the guild. I love your colour choices.

pdcakm 09-16-2012 08:29 AM

great job. i agree about the double border. better without it.

That came out really nice! It sure is a lot of small pieces but it looks like it was worth it :)

Jammin' Jane 12-12-2012 10:03 AM

WOW! It's a blue ribbon winner in my book! Fantastic job! :)

quiltsRfun 12-12-2012 10:17 AM

Looks great. I agree with your decision on the borders.

Very pretty! You've done a lovely job on this, and great colors too!
