when I looked through my photos I was surprised to have five finishes for OPAM this month as it seams I have only sewed and sewed the Mystery Quilt for forever but ....
I enjoyed making these for my Bobbing Friend Helen's BD...
and also my friend Ellyn's BD gifts...
When we received Part Three of the "Mystery Quilt" I was sew disappointed and didn't like it at all.
Sew I played with the blocks I had spent forever to cut, sew and trim and put this together.
Now I love it......
This is the back view sew you can see the quilting I did on it ....
Which finished quilt do you prefer ????
Huge thank you to our lovely Ladies KRIS and PEG for organising us for another great year of finishes for OPAM...
Happy Stitching..

lovely gifts you made. I like your version very much with the extra plain colour giving a rest. So clever, I would never think of doing that.

I like your finished quilt much better than the other. Yours is a little more 'organized' which my eye prefers. I love Ellyn's gifts. I wonder if there might be something similar in the package that arrived for me today?? I haven't opened it yet, but may not be able to wait until my actual birthday. I'm really bad about waiting. :-) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWell of course I LOVE YOURS Maria... oh my god, if i saw that one from the mag i would have just canned the whole idea... not a nice look at all, sorry to the maker of it... BUT yours is great, I'm with Sunny , I like the slightly-organised-scrappy-look... well done !!
ReplyDeleteHello Maria,
ReplyDeleteLove your little ice creams, a great present for your friend. It is always good to see design changes in quilt patterns. I can't understand while everyone has to follow the instructions to the T.
Happy days.
Bev.
I love your version best!
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes Maria.
ReplyDeleteA great tally of finishes - well done! Definitely prefer your mystery! Great you could salvage it, it must have been such a let down when you received the mystery!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the cupcake tea towels...they are so very pretty...xox
ReplyDeleteI see you too changed the proportions of your mystery quilt. I prefer your version also for the arrangement of the blocks. -The cupcakes/ice creams look delicious!
