    Hello Ivy! Your addition of the flamingos, and the neat sashings really make the quilt your own! Great ideas, and congrats on the win!

    Nice to "meet" you, Ivy. I was one of those who tried BH mystery for the first time with Grand Illusion. And like you, after the reveal, I was uninspired to keep going. It was just too busy of a pattern and I gave up. However, I like your interpretation. Setting off the blocks and fussy cutting the center and whatever else you did to it, certainly is easier on my eyes. It's delightful that you infused your personality into it with flamingos.

    Ivy, we’re delighted you snuck out from behind the curtains. Your quilt is spectacular, no doubt you got 1st place in viewer’s choice award. Congratulations and we hope to see more of your quilts. Are you going to participate in BH’s mystery this year? Ringo Lake...I think it’s called.

    Welcome to the board, Ivy. Your quilt is very pretty. That pink really makes the whole thing "pop".
    How do you only spend 20 mintues on the board? It takes me at least an hour to work through it all. LOL
