Finished the mystery quilt today. It's a lot more purpley in real life than the picture shows. I almost didn't finish it because I am so not a purple person. But I figure if it's just a blanket no one will see it when I'm in bed.
After all said and done after the pattern ended... I added on. I put a 2" red/dark pink of the constant fabric for a border and then another row of 4 patches and then after that... I added ANOTHER row of 4 patches to top and bottom. PHEW!
The reason for that is because I wanted to use this as a blanket on my bed. I wanted the sides to hang down a tad bit more to make sure we're covered and not fighting over it. Then the extra at the top and bottom is so that I have enough to tuck in at the end of the bed and enough to snuggle up with at the neck area. It's final size is 97x103.
I ran out of the border material when I decided what I wanted to do and had to order another yard. So while I was waiting, I was playing with these...
My goal is to make a quilt like this...
I also have a friend that made one also and I am just in love. I stocked up on my Goodwill shirts and am ready to go.
