What I strive for in a super-scrappy design like this is to have no-two-fabrics-touching, particularly in the really obvious places (like the blue parts of the flying geese that surround the stars). I wasn't completely successful when it came to the small rectangles in the sashing. If you notice them then you are looking too closely.
It was nigh unto impossible to distribute the colors evenly -- now that I see everything sewn together, the two blocks on the top row, right, are the same in value. But I know that relocating one block means displacing another and upsetting the balance all over again. They'll stay where they are!
The next step is to trim the edges and add the borders. That will have to wait until I return from the TexFestDos in Austin/San Marcos with the Magpies. I leave very early Wednesday, Feb. 19, and return Monday, Feb 24. I have lots to do before then.

It is beautiful. Soooo much piecing on a Bonnie Hunter design...always a great challenge. Love yours.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the Magpies!
ReplyDeleteThat's SEW pretty, Nann!! Best of luck with the borders.
ReplyDeleteI lIke your version of Frolic! It is such happy bright colors! Have a good trip to Texas.
ReplyDeleteLovely work, Nann!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! Frolic is almost done! You're on the home stretch now!!!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt takes a LOT of work .... I'm not as far as you!
Happy Quilting! :-)
Beautiful!! and When I look at it I see just plain ol beauty!! So you did good with the color placement - that would be so hard to not get any scrap to touch a similar one ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour Frolic is beautiful. I used to get all concerned about like fabrics touching, but then I realized in nature, like flowers grow next to each other randomly. If it's an easy fix or if it's glaring, I will fix it. Enjoy your trip!
ReplyDeleteI admire anyone who made this mystery! Great job Nann!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I was wondering how the edges were going to be finished. Now I know. Have fun with the Magpies.
ReplyDeleteIt is fabulous! I love it! Great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done! I don't think your colors are at all out of balance. Congrats on getting the center finished!
ReplyDeleteLooking great Nann!
ReplyDeleteLovely finish; the colours are nicely balanced and calm.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And you're right- moving one block changes the surroundings for several more. You are probably the only one who would notice the side-by-side blocks; everyone else sees a beautiful scrappy quilt. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish.
