My "Mystery" quilt is in 17 sections, the 9 center blocks, the 4 side panels, and the 4 corner Bear Paw blocks. For Monday's quilt guild meeting, I will just take my center block and the 8 bear paws. No one has to know that I have this much done! I'm already labeled as an "overachiever!" I used 9 of 10 different fabrics, just repeating the pink from the bear paw in the zigzag. It looks like one continuous border that way. I will use that taupe colored fabric for the binding. I am thinking of adding a white-ish outer border, but not sure if I will have enough of that cream from the pinwheel to do it in the same fabric. I think that would help unify the quilt too, repeating that color, and the taupe on the outer edges of the quilt. It will also make the quilt slightly larger. Right now it should finish off at around 62" square. I like quilts in the 70-80 inch range.
I'm really pleased with myself. First of all, for for finding that picture of the original, and secondly for getting this much done in such a short time! I'm not sure what I will do with this quilt when I am done with it. That's not really a problem though, just an afterthought!
