Mystery Quilt Celtic Solstice

After hours of sewing and pressing I completed the Celtic Solstice Mystery Quilt that was designed by Bonnie Hunter on Quiltville.  Just to think this is only one half of the blocks!   I am able to make another quilt exactly like this one!!   Amazing.  Bonnie is a " Super Size" person.


I like the quilt for the design it creates but I'm sure glad I don't need to press open any more seams!  I'm concerned about the number of seams when I begin quilting.  Need to choose a back and batting.  Then ready set  quilt!

Top Complete

My Mariner's Compass top is complete.  It's pin and ready to free motion quilt.  I've been letting it set, just have a bit of a nervous stomach.  Don't want to mess it up.  But this afternoon is the time to begin.  Fingers crossed for a good quilting day!  Stay tuned for the reveal!  So proud of the quilt.  This will be displayed on my dining room table.






Yesterday  i continued working on the Celtic Solstice Mystery Quilt... The blocks are finished. So now to set the blocks together.  Decided to make two lap quilts.  Bonnie's version is way to large for me to quilt and I really can't justify paying to have it quilted.
