Mystery quilt train ride #6 - welcome aboard
#832
Judy: This has been my distraction. You "forced" me to get over my terror of on point quilts, so I had to try this one. Thank you for broadening my quilting horizons. Now I am getting back to my #6 mystery!

My main job got in the way of my sewing, so I haven't done my border yet. Hopefully I will have it done this week, and with any luck quilted.
I like seeing all the border variations.
I especially liked Siodach's slice and dice. Will have to save that post with the word document pattern I created.
Thank you Judy for a great train ride and I will definitely be hopping aboard on your next one.

Thanks for your everyone's nice comments. The quilt measures 100 X 100 without the 2.5 inch red borders I will add. The checkerboard squares are an inch square, not as bad as it sounds, I used the strip method and it went pretty fast. To me the really amazing part is the set in triangles. Without Judy leading the way I never would have tried this quilt. Another method I learned, by joining Brat's and Jaba's Medallion quilt along, was mitering the corner chevrons. Both things I would not have known how to do just three months ago.

Judy: We crossed replies. It is called "Baked Alaska", don't ask me why. A lot of the pictures have just plain set ins, can't remember where I saw the kind I used but I'm sure if you wanted to duplicate them you would have no problem. I just used the same sizes as I used for the whole block.
