Love a Mystery

Carolina Crossroads

i finnished my Mystery Quilt from quiltvillechat@yahoo.com i am sure everyone who did this agrees that most of us would have never attempted that if we had know it was 2621 Pieces but it came out great love it .
next one is the Bargello Bowl Quilt i finnished the top but not so sure of the Border yet i will probably finnish it over the weekend since it's supposed to get very cold great quilting Weather
