    More pretty finishes! Still puttering around on my QAYG. Have had some stitch quality issues (birds nests) so going kinda slow on it. Plus have been playing around with what is envisioned as a Bargello to be.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]510905[/ATTACH]I'm finally finished with my top. It is 73" by 87". I will tie this one and use a green binding.

    After I finished the 3rd clue, Linda, a former co-worker, shared about some rough times that her husband and her were going through with an adult son so this quilt will go to them. It will be large enough for some overhang on a queen bed or a great 'snuggling' quilt. Since they have a cat, I was able to use most of my cat borders that I bought last summer in a clearance grab bag. I will use horse fabric on the back since Linda has a horse.

    All of the material, including the cotton batting and backing, are from my stash.

    Judy, thank you for developing these mysteries. I'm now a fan of triangles and I am doing a 25 week HST challenge which I would not have attempted before these mysteries.

    Connie

    P.S. The green is lighter than the picture and the piano keys are brighter.

    Sue, I love your blues and browns. Wonderful combination.
    Emma and moonwork, here's a portion of my I-Spy. Really wanted to get it quilted before the next mystery but that didn't happen.

    Beautiful quilts everybody. RJ and MaryO, your finishing borders are really great, new and different. Makes me want to take my final border off and do it again. I just might do that because I really wasn't happy with the quality of the fabric of the last border I put on. But not right now.

    Lynnie, maybe you should put yours aside and take a day to rest up your back so you will be in good shape for the next train. You can always come back to this one on the days you're ahead of things.

    Pam, That is so cute. All those hexagons must have taken a lot of work.
