It's been a long week ... Along with other quilters in FabricaholicsAnonymous, I started making these blocks on New Year's Eve and have finally finished (today) the 35 blocks. Now, I'll need to figure out how to make it bigger without making another row of blocks; by adding an inner border and then a 10 1/2 outside border...that may make it large enough. The plan is to free motion the quilt on my berNINA! I will be posting my progress as I finish each stage....maybe I should put these blocks together in sections and quilt them in sections - making it easier for these hands.
This picture shows all but the last six blocks; but shows the blocks with accurate coloration... I used an old lavender fabric as the background and 3 Kaffe Fassett fabrics - red print, blue print, and bright chartreuse with bits of yellow and orange. Had I known that they would show as twinkling jewels, I might have chosen different fabrics. Now isn't the way of the "mystery quilt" ? Of course, I can make another one later on...lol.
as always, thanks for reading and commenting!

I don't usually like mystery quilts; but, your's is fantastic.
That lavender background is wonderful with the Kaffe fabrics. For some reason, it makes me think of Easter eggs. Very very pretty!
Looks wonderful Pam!! Will be fabulous when all finished and quilted!
Miss you at CRAFT!
hugs Karen
