I interrupted my New Years’ Mystery to join the blocks of
this quilt in rows and display them on the design wall. I didn’t want to start joining the rows until
hubby took a look at the layout as many a time before, I stitched a quilt and
when he sees it against the wall, he’ll point out mistakes – mostly blocks or
strips turned the wrong way. So while it
awaited final inspection I continued with the mystery.
Once he got home and gave the ‘okay’ – he couldn’t find any
mistakes (whoop-whoop!!) I joined the rows.
I then took it to a double bed to check the size and was pleasantly
surprised that it didn’t quite come out as small as I thought. It must be due to the 12 extra blocks I made.
I then decided to add a border just to give it a little more
body but that had to wait until I got another clue of the mystery quilt done.
With the mystery done as far as I could when I ran out of
fabric, I added borders to this one and it now fits over a double bed properly
with sides that hang off the edge almost to the floor. I have the backing fabric but will have to get
batting before I can start quilting this one.
