    So I finished this a couple of weeks ago, but only opened the futon and took a picture today. This was the mystery quilt Missy hosted here on the board in January. I love her pattern and it allowed me to use my vineyard scene fabric I've been hoarding :mrgreen: I love lavender, so of course lavender fields with chickens was a fabric I couldn't leave at the store :lol: I discovered with this quilt that I really have problems with my flying geese, I lost many points, :x , but I do love the colors and the quilt makes me smile when I look at it. So I suppose I can overlook the chopped off points :roll:

    The quilt measures 80'' square and I made it for the futon that sits in my sewing room as a guest bed. I quilted this one on the rented longarm with freehand flowers and loops, had fun all over the place, lol. I am satisfied with the way it turned out.

    Thanks for looking!

    Farm Fancy, fits the futon rather nicely I think, and of course matching pillowcases...it is an addiction I tell ya!

    I had so much trouble with mine that it is still a UFO and probably always will be. Yours looks great!

    Candi, I love that fabric...... the lavender and the chickens. The quilt is beautiful and your quilting really does compliment. Do enjoy.
