Design Wall Monday

There is a finished quilt top on the design wall today! Isn't that always so exciting!?!

This is the Good Hope Quilters' Guild 2024 mystery called "When you shine". It was a fun mystery with a very different approach to block sewing, so I'm glad I tried it. And I did clear out a lot of fabric!

I love the border print that jumped out of the stash to volunteer for the position! I was looking for a dark frame, maybe black or navy, but this Tula Pink print called "Fairy Dust" in Cotton Candy insisted on being the choice. 

I fussed around about sashing, borders, size, etc, and really just went with the yardage that was available, which was enough for 1 border and 2 sashing strips. Finished size: 49.5" x 56.5"

Fairy Dust is the perfect sashing and border fabric for those pretty blocks, Kathy! Your mystery quilt top turned out great!

I like that you listen to your fabric, and make what you have work for you! It is a riot of color in very neat rows. Is that an oxymoron?

Your quilt is very pretty and the borders suit it perfectly. I must get mine finished this week, It has been fun joining in with the mystery but all those half square triangles were a real pain!

I love that top! So simple, but yet so unique. And yes, every once in awhile a light border or binding just works.

And look at those points on those blocks. Beautiful!

Sara said...

So pretty! The colors made me think of Easter Eggs, and the Tula borders were an excellent choice.

Jenny said...

The border/sashing fabric you used make the whole top look gorgeous. Will you be adding another border too?

Kate said...

That border fabric was the perfect choice. Congrats on a bright and fun finish!
