wow, your color placement looks perfect; almost like a fancy handmade carpet [no offense intended] -- glad to finally see the "allietare" everyone is talking about...

Thank you. I was happy to be able to participate in this years mystery quilt. I enjoy the process and am very happy with the design this year.

Wow, that is a pretty quilt! I have a hard time doing mystery quilts because I want to know I like the pattern before I do all the work.

Beautiful quilt. I think you made a great decision on the narrow border.

Your skinny border looks beautiful! What I don't like about a flange is that it catches lint and debris over time.

Wow! Thank you all for your sweet compliments! Daylesewblessed, that's good to know! I hadn't even thought of that! The narrow border isn't that difficult to do and hearing that I prefer it even more now.

JustAbitCrazy, I think the not knowing part is what I like about them. I love just taking it a step at a time and letting someone else lead the way. If I were to know in advance I might shy away and say that's too hard, I never did a quilt "on point" or I can't do a scalloped border. This way I'm committed to trying whatever Bonnie throws at me.
