So many posts since last time I was here! A lot of us have moved right along to get this mystery finished-- kudos! I enjoyed seeing all your beauties!
Well, I'm wondering if my camera lens needs cleaning? Or am I not holding the camera steady? The quality on this picture seems to be as poor as the last picture. Anyway! I got the outside border on and I want to get back to my granddaughter's I Spy quilt before I continue making this one larger, so it's getting put away for now.
Thank you so much for joining me in this mystery quilt. :-)

Okay, I tried again with a close-up pic. :-) It's folded, on the twin bed. You can see I dumped the quilt on the floor to use the orange sheet for a better background. Yes, I have an orange sheet, I do love orange. lol

I am hung up making the HSTs. I am very slow at making them for some reason - one, for sure, is that they are so repetitious that I don't stay with them.
I see something I don't care for in the finished tops, but I'm sure if I'm going to try to change it.
Yours are all coming out so pretty - each in their own way.

Givio, your quilt turned out splendidly...great job. I’m off to my LQS today to find backing fabric. My stash is small so I don’t have anything large enough. I plan to use my large leftover piece of Fabric A in the backing.

Givio, It came out so great! I love the pattern play you have going on.
The tipsy triangles turned with fabric B closest to the medallion looks so good on yours! After seeing all the quilts here and on facebook, I think it depends on the fabrics on the best way to place it. On mine, I don't think it made too much of a difference but I think if someone's B is lighter and or stands out more from C, then I like B placed closer to the medallion, like yours.
And add me to the "I love orange" crowd! I have two wing chairs in my living room with bright orange slip covers. lol They aren't for everyone, but I love them!

Wow...it’s amazing how different they all look but so many pretty outcomes. Watson, I loved your fabric from the very beginning and you did a fabulous job. Sharongn, I really like your bright colors...and Leah, you’re new fabric choice is so fun. I love the daisies.
I enjoyed the pattern and at some point I can see myself doing another one but knowing what I know now, I would definitely consider the primary prints and accent colors. This is what I ended up with...
