Getting there

I have the Grand Illusion Mystery top nearly complete.  I just need to add borders.  Yes, I know I neglected to post some steps.  I got out of the blogging habit.  Hopefully I can get back in a groove.



Now it's time to cut some yellow strips for an inner border.  I have the outer borders pieced and ready to attach. As a treat, I am going to shop for a back.  I haven't purchased much fabric lately.

This is the first time I have tried a mystery quilt.  It was fun to quilt along during the holidays.  But I think I prefer knowing what I am working toward.  I absolutely will be making more quilts designed by Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville.  I just love her philosophies and her patterns.

Happy Sewing!

Thank you! I did get the borders on, now I need some backing and it will be shipped off to the long-armer. The bright colors have been a nice "pick-me-up" this winter.
