Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt - the Dotted Spotted Version - is finished!


Best use of a clothesline - quilt pictures!


 It was a windy photoshoot!


On my daughter's bed.


It matches her room perfectly!

What a gorgeous quilt, it really does match your daughter's room, it picks up the colours in her books! Lovely!

I'm happy to see another Grand Illusion finished! Mine is waiting to be quilted. Maybe this month. The Dots are great.

What a fun quilt! The colors and layout are really striking, and look great in your daughter's room! I totally agree--clotheslines are the best for quilt photos!

Wow! What a stunning quilt. It is so exciting to have a quilt finished after all of that work. I am a fan of the clothesline for showing off quilts - outdoors in the garden makes them look so pretty.
