Dakota Inspired - My Finish!! and.... Finished ( or Not) Friday!!!!

 I just hope this was a Stitchy Quilty week for you all!!! We had snow!!! and I will tell you, I must have checked out from the news, because that was a surprise to me!  A good surprise... I like snow... but still...

All right!! Dakota Inspired is now a *finished* Mystery!!!  and here is mine!!

( if you haven't downloaded the latest clue, avert your eyes!!)

Ta-Da!!!  My Finished ( yes un bound!) Dakota Inspired!!!  I think this was a fun one, but I have been sworn to produce a Mystery with not as many half squares - okay they really said no half squares... but I am not sure that is possible... so my brain is off to ponder another quilt design.


And you can tell - I took this photo before the snow.  I actually took it when Little Bit was home and willing to hold quilts... Thank goodness for kids! Middle Bit came over for a Whole Day!! and he helped me rearrange my fabrics and sewing room and I loved it!! I have some space!!


Now it is your turn - Link up your finishes!

Congratulations, what a beautiful quilt! Great to have kids to hold it, and help in the sewing room! Enjoy the snow too ;)

Gretchen Weaver said...

Lovely quilt! It's always nice when the children come home, happy stitching!

Rebecca Smith said...

I love it. I’ve saved all the steps but never got around to cutting mine. Now I think I need to rethink my fabric pull.

Great Dakota Inspired (almost) Finish. Glad you like snow. Not me and that is why I enjoy living in SC.

The quilt came out great. I have to finish the side triangles but the dark blue triangles have me thinking of trying something else. I made a couple of string triangles, but I used red and blue together and that did not look good. I am going to try just a bunch of blue strings and see if that works better.

Your quilt turned out just gorgeous!

Linda said...

Beautiful finish and I love the fabrics. Your son helped you rearrange your fabrics? How fun!

Donna said...

Gorgeous!!! We had snow too! Ugh!

Snowcatcher said...

Gosh, I love that one! I may have to start one of my own! (That's a huge compliment because I've sworn not to start any new projects until I finish enough WIPs to get down into single digits!!!)

That unexpected snow was a hoot because it protected my hyacinths and daffodils from the low of 13 that night. And it's always fun to watch the critters in the snow the next morning!

I like how Dakota Inspired turned out. Thanks for the mystery! I hope to get mine to flimsy stage by next week's link up. I have to find enough dark blue pieces to use for the side setting triangles first.

Oh, and I'm one who loves HSTs!

Oh it is really a great quilt - thanks so much for sharing with us.

You have some space after re-arranging ? That is just invitation to stuff more fabric in there. The Dakota Inspired quilt is lovely. Great finish.

Judy in Michigan said...

I love this quilt!! Great design and fabric choices. But why is it called Dakota Inspired? Maybe because of the 4 peaks at the top? Whatever you decide to call your quilt is fine with me but I wish I knew your thoughts on this. Love you!!

Sandra Walker said...

Too funny: I think we linked up on each other's linkies at the same time! Love this finish. Two block quilts have always had my love and amazement at the secondary patterns.

It's a wonderful finish, even if it's not really finished! LOL

Delighted Hands said...

I hope to have mine all done and ready to give to my local QOV coordinator next week!

Nann said...

It's a great design. And there aren't too many HSTs!

Susan said...

Beautiful quilt!

Jenny K. Lyon said...

Gotta love a red, white and blue quilt! This one is a stunner, love all that piecing.

The Joyful Quilter said...

Awesome quilt finish, Alycia!!

Mrs. Goodneedle said...

My favorite color combination of all time- my husband and I even had a R,W and B wedding 46 years ago! Congratulations on a stupendous design and finish!

So pretty!!!! Love the colors, it truly is a great quilt!

Bonnie said...

That is one fabulous quilt. I saved the directions but didn't make the quilt...mainly because I never seem to have enough yardage of a specific color. I may try making it scrappy. Time will tell.

Fun quilt. Just finished mine.

Vicki W said...

I love this quilt! It's way too late for snow. That stuff needs to move on out. It's been unseasonably cool here this week too.

Great quilt! I like half square triangles.
