My blocks for the Quiltville mystery, Celtic Solstice, are finished. They are now in nice clipped together row stacks waiting for me to start sewing rows. The border pieces from clue 1 are all sewn together.
When we first found out about clue 2, I told my friends doing the mystery I thought these would be for the border. I was wrong. Not paying close enough attention, I made all left side parts. So I had to make enough right side parts to make my chevron blocks. I put all the "extra" left side parts away thinking I might go ahead an use them for a border, depending on Bonnie's design.
Sunday I sat down and played in EQ7 to see what my quilt would like like with a few extra borders. Still not sure how to use the border section of EQ7, this is not accurate for the amount of pieces I need. I'll just to the math and figure that part out. I like it so much that I am going to do it. Today is a good stay home and sew day. That is after I cruise around Blogland for a while.
Today I'm linking up with Patchwork Times-Design Wall Monday and Quiltville's Mystery Monday Link-Up.

I like the additional border.
Nice way to use up those extra half pieces of Chevrons. I'd call you Crazy, but to a Quilter, that's a compliment. Way to EQ!
Love your colors. They just twinkle. I like the additional border, too. I haven't ventured in to using EQ yet, but am thinking about it. It looks like fun!
Your colors and fabrics are beautiful. I really like the additional border idea ... :)
Looks like making the chevrons wrong turned into a happy accident! Live your colors - so soft and pretty.
Judy, I love your version! Isn't it nice to be able to plug things into EQ and have an idea of what you're working with??! :)
Fantastic idea! Love it when your creativity is way ahead of you and makes a great quilt even more spectacular!
Great idea for the extra pieces.
It is fun to see the varieties of the Quiltville Mysteries.
Love your colors - and your border approach to sue your extra pieces. Happy sewing in 2014!
Just beautiful Judy. Glad you have all of the blocks put together. I love that quilt and am kicking myself that I haven't even started yet.
