So many have finished their quilts and I am still piddling away. After I saw the reveal, I found I hated my print fabric with all those green and black blocks. My whole quilt would have been so very dark. Next time, I will understand HIGH contrast, does not mean medium. I had spent so much time making those ugly green and black parts that I was determined to use them. A couple of days ago, I found a different fabric in my stash that I liked with the parts I had already made. I added a light yellow as an accent. Finally I am putting the blocks together. This is what I have so far.

Hi Jan...I admire so many of your fabric choices that I am very pleased that you like mine. It's not camo...it's wine. Much more fun. Here's my fabrics I am using and the blocks that I have done today. Now, if I didn't have to cook supper, I could keep sewing. But the hubby is hungry and sometimes likes my cooking, so into the kitchen I go.
OOPS! My center wine bottles are upside down. I may mix them up when I go to sew everything together, so that there is no top or bottom.

I have had so many people ask me if there will be another mystery, so thought I would post this. I figure everyone has so much going on in summer that a fall mystery might be just the thing to make that transition into the cooler weather. Look for it sometime after Labor Day, maybe the 16th. As always, it will post in the blocks of the week and month, and will be titled #17 Mystery Quilt Train Ride.

Finally all the blocks are finished and sewn together. Now to think about borders. Whichever way the picture posts...lately they have been posting sideways.... all the wine bottles in the center of the main blocks are vertical. Well, I deleted this the first time I posted it because the picture was sideways again.... The board wouldn't let me post the same thing twice with the message so I had to add more. Funny how computers work.
