A mystery quilt finale...or almost.

Good morning!!!  Above is my almost finished quilt top from the mystery quilt on Facebook.  Here is the link, if you would like to pursue this one. All the patterns are free and under files.   I took a few liberties and made it my own.  Only one more border to go!!!

A picture in progress.

And another picture in progress!!!  I machine appliqued for the first time in my life.  Those little petal blocks were really slowing me down, and so I wondered what would happen if I sewed some of them  on my machine...and it was fine.  Not heirloom sewing here, but this is not for show, and will be just fine and warm for someone on the bed.



 I resurrected these blocks, and sewed this much together.  Of course it needs to be much bigger!



UFO busting here, folks!!!


Happy Monday to you!

Beautiful quilt! I love the colors you've chosen. And if machine applique gets the job done, I'm all for it!

I love that last UFO shown. It would make a striking table runner just with what you done so far.

Gorgeous mystery quilt, Julie! I looked into this when you first posted about it but because it was going to turn out square, I decided against it. Your finish makes me reconsider. I love the colors and fabrics you used. Really, really beautiful!
I love your red quilt, too. You have such a great eye for quilts.
