Mystery Quilt top finished
Hey everyone!
Haven't been on in awhile as I've been busy with school and work, but I finally finished the mystery quilt our guild hosted. It was Nancy's Fancy, but I added an extra thin white border and a pieced outermost border I designed and thought would really bring it all together. And...I love it! It's also my first time doing mitered borders, which was really scary but went rather well, once I got the hang of it.
This is an especially important quilt to me as it includes two blue fabrics from my grandmother's stash. I picked them out the last time I visited her...she's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and isn't doing so well. When I was younger we used to sew together.
Anyway, I hope you like it! Now...how to quilt it...any ideas?!

Sorry about the poor lighting! It gets dark early this time of year in Germany!
