Great SUmmer Mystery QUilted

Thanks a million Helen for the joy of this and the many tips along the way.

Now having just read Helen's most recent post and following a link to a picture of

quilt made up from the pattern used for the mystery Quilt ,I have to be honest and say if I had seen this picture first I would not have been tempted to do the quilt,I am so glad I did not peek when Helen gave a link in her first posting re this Mystery-cause I now have a pattern I love to assemble..

yeah yipee, I have quilted the whole The Great Summer Mystery Quilt.  lt with my messy meandering stitch...

there were times when this pushed my limits but I am so glad I trudged along,

I know by no means is this perfecto but it's grand too me...

And I have not one fold or crease on the back "yippitydoodahday",

oopsy missed trimming  a few threads there,well hey I was so excited to have it done I just quickly grabbed the camera and went outside....

I'm not sure which fabric I will use for the final wee edge border/binding..

Oh yeah I used 11 full bobbins in quilting this quilt.

Cheers Vickie.

Thanks for  Dropping in.
