As you can see I used those indipensible little fork pins again, without them I would have been undoing and re-sewing a lot of the seams that didn't match up well enough to satisfy me.
Incidentally, I found the fork pins at Joann today and on sale 50% off so I picked up an extra package. This made them much less expensive than at Connecting Threads even at CT's sale price, and then you have to add shipping though I only order the pins if I am already placing an order for something else.
Ta-da, here is the finished top ready for the longarm. After hanging it for photographing I noticed a mistake, but it's going to stay there! The elephants at least all go in the same direction, that was in my plan but I wouldn't have fussed if it didn't work out. As time goes on I find myself able to live with some things that are less than perfect, others I can't abide it depends on how much it offends my eyes!

It turned out great! Seems like this pattern looks really different depending on the fabrics...haven't seen two that look real super similar! Was fun sewing "with"you!
I love shiny farics but only use them in small pieces---------cottonreel
If there is a mistake, I can't find it. I love how yours turned out!

I really like your fabric choices for the Mystery quilt. They must have a tight weave for them to be so stiff. Great job!
I was skeptical when I saw the fabrics but WOW that is a NEAT quilt! I love your pattern choice and color placement!
BTW- I can't find your boo-boo either.
This quilt is simply gorgeous!
This one turned out just beautiful. Is there a pattern somewhere?
It really turned out very nice!
Ros I absolutely love your NYE mystery. I am referring back to it quite often to help me select my fabrics. Your selections are wonderful!
