The time has come for this Downton Abbey "English Manor Mystery" to be all sewn together.
I don't know it happened, but it did.
I missed making the Week 5 Blocks that were supposed to be on the sides.
I must have been BUSY that week. I printed the pages but didn't make them blocks.
Saturday, I remedied that!
The top ones are Daisy- the bottom ones are Beryl (Mrs Patmore).
How I could make the quilt without them?? -it could NEVER happen.
Here are all the blocks laid out in the way I had them last Monday, with Week 5 Blocks added.
This is how the REVEAL shows placement of Week 5 Blocks. One row of each on either side.
I already have mixed up the top and bottom rows of week 6.
I already have mixed up the top and bottom rows of week 6.
I wanted to see what it would look like to switch it up and trade the blocks across the rows.
I just can't make a Cookie Cutter Quilt.
Which version will/should I do?
Each week we had the choice to make all of one BLOCK or a combination of the two.
This was a very fun Mystery QAL. LoveBug Studios Blog is HERE
I liked all the fabrics, even though not all were available at my LQS.
I had to use a different Grey and Aqua/Turquoise.
Next is the adding of the sashings and final assembly.
This week is our Walla Walla Valley Quilt Guild Symposium.
I get to show some Fun with Borders.
I've been selecting quilts and have 2 of Judy Laquaidara's Books that show her LOVE of Borders.
Anyone is welcome to join us!
Linking up with Judy HERE
I like your mixed up borders. It seems to balance out the quilt better than having all the four patches on one side. It is a really pretty quilt.
ReplyDeleteI like the mixed up borders the best.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the second option.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your comment about the cookie cutter quilt. How come you do so many SALs if you don't like a cookie cutter quilt? *LOL*
Definitely the second choice. I like how both types of blocks are used. I look forward to seeing it finished!
ReplyDeleteThey're both good layouts, but I think you will make the one that pleases you the best. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe second border option looks the most balanced.
ReplyDeleteGood job on getting your Downton mystery finished. It was a fun quilt along to do....even if I didn't keep mine! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you make each SAL your own. I say go for the mixed up borders.....so much more you than the copy cat. Sew Mary Sew!!!!
