leheath8, well done! Having the 4 string units in the center looks lovely.
|
leheath8: Congratulations on finishing your lovely top!

Thanks all! I am a new quilter so don't really have a stash so just found enough different purple fabrics to make those 4 string pieced units so I could try the technique. They were part of the reason I went with the 4x4 configuration - so I had a "center" where I could use them as a focal point.

Great, so far, leheath8.... I did the 4x4, as well and really like the square measurements for this layout. You did an amazing job for a “beginner”. Would have thought you’d been quilting for years so kudos to you for tackling this mystery.

Wow, putting this all together was way more work than I expected (this is my first mystery quilt). I think I would have preferred the 3x4 layout rather than the 4x4, but once I committed, I felt compelled to follow through! I don’t really want it to be any bigger, so I will not be adding a second, larger border. It will go on my long arm as soon as I’m done with the little project on there at the moment.

Finished my top! If I were doing this with foreknowledge, I would use light grays and keep my golds more consistent. The gray fabrics in the border are the ones I auditioned for sashing.

Great job Joe's mom. I like your grays!
|
Joe’s Mom: Your quilt looks wonderful. I think the values used work well.
