Joe'smom, your colors are looking great and the gold was worth waiting for.
Cindy, Looks great. I like that softer pink.
At first viewing, I too said, "Whaaaat??" But it has really grown on me too. I don't like my particular colors, but some of the other posted have been really beautiful and I like that there is a hidden pattern to look for.

Cindy I love yours and I can really see the spin on the main block and on the small blue intersection, you must be really pleased with that. I have yet to finish the borders on mine but the more I work on it the better I like it, would I do another one NEVER, would I do another MQ you betcha I loved and looked forward to my Fridays and was sad when it finished.

Got my second row put on today...going a bit slowly but trying to work on it as I can. Not my favorite mystery but will wait till it's all done to really say if I like it or not. Some of the ones posted please me, so maybe mine won't affect me badly in the end.
I still love mysteries...that won't change!

Everyone's finished quilt top is fabulous! Hopefully I can get my blocks sewn next week. I have one more memory quilt to quilt and then the bindings on all 3. Love seeing all the pictures of the different stages in progress also!

If I didn't have the astigmatism, I could surely look right at it fine. I have the same problem with some high-contrast sharp-line stripes and dots prints. Just go cross-eyed. Very disturbing!
Well keep up the good work!

my backing is flowers in color of pale pink (not baby) to almost red, with green stems tossed on a background of black (Ro Greg for Northcott, "January") for the top and bottom sections, the middle is a strip of (Moda) black and white check in honor of the flooring at the "Grand". Today is the day I am FWQ on DSM .... not the BERNINA 1630, the Singer 301A vintage like the hotel LOL
