Finally!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Finally finished Bonnie Hunters Frolic! It was my first of her quilt patterns and first mystery. I set it aside after the reveal and got it out at the beginning of the year and put it all together. My ex husband (he is still my biggest quilting enabler and we still maintain a wonderful relationship) saw it and claimed it after asking it I could make it to fit a king size bed so I added 2 additional borders. After the backing I originally ordered for it ended up being too small after squaring it up, I opted for a plain white muslin backing just to get it done and on to its new home so I can start a new project.

Ohmigosh, that's beautiful! 😍 I love the colors and the sparkle all over the center with the quieter borders. Just amazing!

And how nice to have a great relationship with your ex. My ex and I get along really well, too. :)

Amazing quilt! Even more amazing - you and your ex seem to be amicable!

It's beautiful, and I love the extra borders! BH patterns tend to be a bit on the busy side for my taste, and your borders calm it down perfectly. I also love that your ex wanted it.

Beautiful! I've done one of her mysteries. Bonnie works in smaller pieces than I normally do. It was a great challenge for me! It is a great feeling to finish one of her mysteries

Congrats on the finish!

Tallchick, this came out beautiful! One of my brother in laws really like to see what I’ve done. It’s good your ex appreciates your work because he sure benefitted in this case!-lol- that’s some work girl!

Great quilt finish!

What a beautiful finish! It inspires me to get mine back out. Many blocks done, all units ready. Right after I get the 2 king size quilts I'm working on done.

yes, I agree...your borders are perfect for this quilt top. I just stumbled across my Frolic and have decided to just finish it the size it is and get it out of here. 😝

Perfection! Everything, every piece lays perfectly! You did a great job on this one. Be very proud of yourself on this one.

It is gorgeous.

Oh my gosh, if I knew a Mystery Quilt would always turn out that pretty I would be making one. I've been so afraid to try one for fear that I would not like it (I'm horrible in picking out fabric colors even when I know what I am making). I absolutely love everything about your quilt. The borders are beautiful on it & it just *speaks* to me. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic, Tallchick!!!! Mine is still hiding in a plastic box so it can see out, but I am not sure what is in there looking in. I know I gave up in frustration. You are an inspiration to us all.

maryb119 04-23-2021 02:04 PM

It's a beauty!!!! I haven't made a Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt yet. I love her scrappy patterns.
