From my Carolina home hosted a mystery quilt in 2018. It was the first time, I had tried one of her mysteries. I enjoyed it, and I like the result. It was easy to keep up with the clues, and, I had a quilt top shortly after the reveal, but, it has languished in the "to be quilted" pile until now. This one is called square dance. I chose to do the queen size. It finished at about 82 x 90 and used a lot of scraps.
For the back, I used a strip from a trip around the world that I knew I would not finish.
I used a checkerboard print for the binding, and, I quilted all over swirls.

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice quilt! Great scraps, an interesting pattern, and gorgeous quilting! And such a good idea to add that strip of trip around the world on the back--one less UFO to worry about!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great scrappy quilt! Congratulations on so many finishes this year!
ReplyDeleteYou quilt caught my eye as it looked very familiar. Now I know why - I took part in the same mystery but only did a tabletopper. Well done on a pretty finish.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Congrats on your finish and thanks for being part of One Monthly Goal.
ReplyDeleteSquare Dance is beautiful and the backing is just genius. Liz in Houston
