I finished sewing on the last bit of binding this morning and I am very happy! This quilt turned out really great. It was the latest Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt and it was a lot of fun to participate in. Bonnie has so many great patterns and this one is no exception. I really love the colour scheme and I really like the overall design but I sure wish it was a rectangle instead of a square. I know that once the mystery was revealed I could have made more blocks but, honestly, I am a quilter that really likes doing the cutting and prepping all at once and it is really hard for me to go back to make more block pieces. Unfortunately, the pattern is no longer available for free from Bonnie Hunter's website but it will eventually make an appearance in one of her books.
This quilt will find a home right here in my son Eric's bedroom. He has a green futon in his room and I think they are perfect for each other. Hurray...a quilt I made is staying home....for now!

Congratulations on finishing this beauty! Just in time for the summer solstice, too!
My Celtic Solstice is still in pieces. Maybe I will complete it for the winter solstice? Every time I see one of these beautiful quilts complete, I want to drop everything and just work on that. I just have too many other commitments so I will enjoy looking at yours for now.
Thanks for the beautiful eye candy ... :) Pat
