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

You are my hero!! I still haven't cut it out...not sure I want to tackle it right now. I will keep the pattern for a later time. It's beautiful!!!
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.
Honey, it is beautiful!
Beautiful quilt...lovely design!
That looks like it wasn't the easiest mystery quilt to make. Well done.
What lovely colours and the design looks really great. Congratulations on finishing.
