Grand Illusions Progress checkin



I've made great progress on Bonnie's mystery quilt (see the big reveal post for Grand Illusions quilt.)

 I decided to go with the pattern setting after much, much debate.  I've the border pieces all assembled ready to attach.

Since I went with a 3 by 4 block setup, I did need to great creative on the border.  The border was designed for a 5 x 5 quilt and a 2" inner border.  Each of the side pieces that attach to the corner will be a little bit longer.

Completing the creation of all the blocks was my goal for January's Another Lovely Year of Finishes .   This was my goal setting post.

Linking up to Bonnie's post here.  (edited to add link)

Happy Stitching!

    Your Grand Illusion looks great; just beautiful. I'm making it also, but I'm still making the blocks.

    I like how the softer colours in your sashing let the blocks shine. I'm doing a three by four setting too but I'll wait to see if I have any leftover bits to use for the border fill in.

    Since one of the first things you see when you walk through my front door is the back of my couch, which is where I want to put the quilt, I decided to make it four across and three down.
