    Since I've decided I have enough fabric to add another column and possibly a 3rd border, but have no idea when I'll get around to it, I hope you all will forgive my unfinished quilt here. All-in-all, I consider my first mystery quilt a success as I love how the pattern turned out!

    I... just realized I sowed the pattern the opposite way it was supposed to go...

    Oh, boy. Time to live that "done is better than perfect" mantra lol

    vadalia yours is one of the nicest I've seen! It's all in the fabric choices and how successfully they play off of each other in the final reveal. I've saved the clues for this - doing Bonnie Hunter's Frolic and other obligations - and will do it some day!

    Thank you so much!

    Yeah, I've seen almost everyone (including myself) who did the smaller version say they wished they'd done it in a bigger size (or are planning to) I was a bit nervous about doing a mystery quilt because I'm a newbie and don't have much fabric to "waste" if I didn't like the pattern- but this exceeded all my expectations!

    vadalia, that's beautiful! I honestly think it doesn't make a bit of difference which way the pattern goes.

    It turned out so cute, QB.
