butter, your Chilhowie is beautiful! I love your variety of shades, they make your quilt so interesting.
SuzSLO, it's looking great!
I'm having low energy these days, related to some physical issues, so not doing much sewing. I have 1/4 of my top together. Hope to get back to it soon!

OK, I admit it, I had trouble with Clue 2. After taking it back out and looking at and see I did have some good units, but also several I would have to remake, I have decided to just do two plain borders on it and call it done! I refuse to feel bad about it. I also finished two other mystery quilt flimsies from previous years. Now I need to get the backings made and quilt those and I have several other UFO's and new projects waiting in the wings. In addition, my quilt guild is also doing a mystery quilt this year and should I decide to do it, It will use up 16 fat quarters and 5 yards of background. The is so tempting. Remaking clue 2 units, do not spark joy, so there I am!

Sewingpup…you really can’t go wrong with a different border on this quilt top. The pattern is busy enough that a plain border or variation of border will work really well, too. Sounds like you have a lot going on…fun stuff for you!
