Here if my finished Mystery Quilt. I love the way it turned out. I stitched in the ditch around the inner and outer stars and then did free motion meandering in the pinks and the border. That was a first for me, and although it is far from perfect, I am really happy with the way it turned out. I attached 2 prints - the first is the whole quilt and the second is an up close of the free motion quilting. Can't wait for the next Train Ride.

I agree, sans the white it looks awesome, white pulls away from the effect~
I'd get rid of the white. The color from the white border bleeds every time it touches. Then, I'd use the two blenders and my favorite Santa and try braiding with three. Using an even number is putting all reds on one side and all greens on the other. I think using three will distribute the colors better. Think of a braid in a head of hair.

I really like your quilt, Chester, it turned out awesome. I am almost done, I was running behind, I got side tracked and had to wait for a Freighter of UFO's to pass, but now I am back on track!
Will post pictures later, my camera is still buried in back of PU trying to get stuff put away after camping trip!

Here is mine--finally. It still needs quilted. Not sure what to do for that. I really had a great time doing this. I had purchased the charm packs when I first began quilting in 2010. Didn't know what I was going to do with them. I like the way they turned out. Thanks for looking.
