Yesterday I submitted my
AQS 2010 Mystery Quilt entry to their contest. This is a photo of part of the quilting detail. I had to get my courage up and be bold about using the black thread. It is very exposed on this pale pink fabric, but I felt the quilt needed it. I've uploaded lots of additional detailed photos to
my Facebook Page including the piecing evolution of the mystery and the progression of designing the extra border which we were allowed to do as part of the contest. If you are interested in the specifications for the additional border, please send me an email requesting them.
I also want to share with you the original inspiration of my fabric choice.
Stacy (Lee) Barter -- high school work colleague and classmate back at Monterey Bay Academy painted this several years ago.

My hope is that this quilt will be published in the American Quilter Magazine. My Part 1 of the mystery was posted on
their blog.
