It looks fantastic. I really like the checkerboard squares. They look great with your star blocks. Thanks for sharing your thought process in designing your quilt.
A great result from this project. While some people enjoy mystery projects, I do not! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the rest of the economy blocks you have!
Pretty quilt, I am totally with you on the checkerboard fabric not lining up, totally fine, I don’t aim for perfection, I just aim for overall design like a nice checkerboard. Anxious to see the next one. Happy quilting.
I envy your ability to design a beautiful quilt like this! I actually made the quilt you designed with the Tula Pink fabric flamingo's and the stripes. I love it!
You made a lovely quilt Nora!! So fun to hear you noodling your thoughts about how to proceed. Thanks for sharing this one and can't wait to see the other. How will you quilt it?
If the mystery SAL is on youtub, one option might be to put the blocks away as a project on hold (not technically a UFO) until the SAL finishes and you can see the finished project. Then you can make an informed decision about continuing or repurposing the blocks you have already made. I have the same problem with mystery quilts. I signed up for a mystery QAL at the big Houston Quilt Festival and was very disappointed. Its like buying a pig in a poke!
I have had the same experience with a mystery quilt of choosing the wrong colors and in the end I was happy to give the quilt away. I do Bonnie Hunter’s mystery but the colors are given to you so your decision to change , which I have , or stick with her choices. Anyway good save on this one .
This is a beautiful quilt. "Only God can make things perfect." Some quilters put a mistake in their quilt for good luck. I could not see your little mistake. Getting it done was important. Someone is going to love that quilt. Are you going to set up the other 25 blocks the same as this one? Thank you.
It's beautiful! Like a big kiss - X! Definitely "go your own way" - you have to like and enjoy what you're doing, otherwise what's the point?! 🤷🏻♀️ Deb x 🤗
I’m not fond of mystery sew alongs either. You spend a lot of money on buying the boxes and if you don’t like it, you’re stuck. You did an awesome job of making the new blocks.
