Merry Mayhem's Mystery Quilt #147 "Let's Face It"
#62

Came home from running and got started on this. Just now finished the inner top. I don’t know…my dark and light might have been too stark in contrast to each other, but it was fun and very satisfying to get it put together so quickly!

I like it Quossum!! Very modern-esque with the dark and light when viewed in the thumbnail view. Get up close and the "I-spy" nature of the bigger blocks grabs your eye. Your quilt has multiple personalities! Great job!

Belfry -- your green/yellow contrast is eye-catching with the big bricks you chose. If you decide to go with the 3x3 pattern on their side, I can't wait to see how those turn out! Either way, lots of great quilting spaces in your quilt, too. I love your creative edge. Thank you for the inspiration!

Just finished my lap quilt borders and got it ironed. It’s raining here so I can’t take a photo right now. Here is a partial quilt photo. I used a layer cake called buttercup and slate, then used purples in my stash for the dark, a different dark green with yellow border, light grayish lavender inner border, and a gray and white print for the lights. I like the end result, very satisfying to get it done in a day. Hugs all!!

That was confusing to some. But you can easily adapt the pattern to run the other way. It takes a bit of mental maneuvering, but is not too hard to do. Hope your back gets better soon.
