Guild's Mystery Quilt is complete!!!!

I really am pleased with myself for sticking with this mystery quilt. The designer is Marti Mitchelle. She has a great sense of color. I followed her color suggestions and they were right on. But...her sewing and cutting directions were really very confusing.
Nevertheless, I managed to get it done today!!!!!


 I love the look of mitered corners but have never been happy with my sewing of them. Either I am getting better (yes!!) or I got lucky today. I did not have to resew any of the four corners!!!
Below is the left corner pressed out:


And below is the right corner pressed out:


 And the quilt on the ironing board before sewing the four corners:


I am so very happy with this quilt.
And of course it is a beautiful day today. It is 60 outside with lots of sun. There is a bit of a breeze but the kitties are loving having the door open.

Gotta go make supper now. But I wanted to share this with you all!!!!
XOXOXOXO Subee

It's gorgeous! And I love how the design continues into the the borders. Your miters are perfect! Yay! You definitely have the skills, cuz no one gets lucky on all four corners! :o)

Your quilt is wonderful! I used to avoid miters until I learned that folding made a difference. I'm not sure how you do it...but this is the method I use

Beautiful quilt! Those are great looking corners. I hesitate to get into mitered corners, but if I have good instructions I am usually pleased with the result.
