Mystery no more

The blocks of the mystery quilt I was doing are now all sewn together with borders.  This was such as easy one to do I am thinking of doing another (wont be a mystery!!) in some batiks I have, or maybe I may use some Japanese fabric I have,......or........???  Who knows what I will use - got to still make it a mystery!!  The quilt top will now go in my basket of tops waiting to be quilted.

I am one of those quilters who has a lot of tops, not many quilted or finished, but this year I am getting through some of them.  Some just need the binding - isn't it the way you get so far and then onto something else.  This year I decided (all by myself.....) to not purchase any more fabric, only what I absolutely require to finish an already started project.  So far I have been good.  Next year - will wait and see.

It is great Joy, well done. Love the colours. I made the same resolution a couple of years ago, use up my stash, so far it has worked with only backings and a few fat quarters bought every so often.

Nice ,Joy. I'm never game to make a mystery in case I really don't like it. but this is a winner. It would look good in batiks or Japanese fabrics.
