Mystery Quilt top finished
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hey everyone!

Haven't been on in awhile as I've been busy with school and work, but I finally finished the mystery quilt our guild hosted. It was Nancy's Fancy, but I added an extra thin white border and a pieced outermost border I designed and thought would really bring it all together. And...I love it! It's also my first time doing mitered borders, which was really scary but went rather well, once I got the hang of it.

This is an especially important quilt to me as it includes two blue fabrics from my grandmother's stash. I picked them out the last time I visited her...she's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and isn't doing so well. When I was younger we used to sew together.

Anyway, I hope you like it! Now...how to quilt it...any ideas?!

Sorry about the poor lighting! It gets dark early this time of year in Germany!

Very pretty! What method of quilting...hand, sewing machine or long arm?
