Brookmarie, looks great. Two totally different quilts.

Joy, I like the black border. I think it emphasizes the 'swirl.'

Joe'smom, Be sure to post your new backing when you get it.

I finally finished my GI. I made one throw using bonnie's pattern but no outer border. The second one I wanted to look different so I added some sashing and cornerstones. I am really happy with both types and can't wait to quilt them to put in my camper this summer.
Love both your versions. Very cute holders and doggie too!

I got my blocks pieced together last night and tonight will try to figure out the calculations for the width of the inner borders since I did a 3 x 4 block version. I have left over blocks that I will make into a quilt for charity. I may use Brooks sashing idea as I don't have extra border blocks made but do have a whole bunch of the 2x4 green and white ones.

My interpretation of Bonnie Hunter's "Grand Illusion" mystery quilt.

I made two quilt tops from the arts that she told us about. One is a mini version of her quilt and the other is a variation of the theme.

Here are the pictures I have.

The original version with just the middles changed into a solid square and a bit of the borders changed:

and this one which is changed quite dramatically.

Here's a closeup of the square:

and

Here is the EQ drawing of it.

So far they are just the tops.

I am getting my top together slowly but surely. I meant to try the webbing thing but just started sewing the sashing pieces on. Probably would have needed my design wall for that but I don't want to take down what is on there. I think I have 2 more seams and it will be together. Then I can figure out my borders. I'm just doing 3x4. I had to make quite a few more of the diagonal blocks but was pretty good with the rest. We'll see if I need more border blocks when the time comes. I really like the way her border finishes it.

justflyingin, it's amazing how those yellow and black cornerstones stand out in your alternate quilt. I think your border design on that one is very complementary, too. Well done!
