Finished Quilt: Magnolia Mystery

Each year, Kate takes part in a mystery quilt from Meadow Mist Designs.  In the past, I've watched the quilts develop without much attention, but this year, when the mystery began, I was ready to start another project, so I jumped in.

I chose solids for my first mystery quilt.  As it developed, I stayed pretty happy with my choices.  Once the full design was revealed, I was relieved to find my colors worked out.  I did decline to add the wide expanses of white fabric, so opted for a few colored borders.  I chose simple straight lines for quilting, spaced along the block layout, and more lines through the borders.
It's not a lovely picture, for which I apologize.  My camera is still MIA, and I'm struggling with using my iPad and loading them to my computer.  It'll get better eventually!

I'm very happy with this lap-sized quilt, and it's washed and ready to share with somebody who needs it or for charitable purchases.

Next year, I'll be on the watch for the next mystery!
