When I write a Mystery Pattern - I usually just make the quilt first.
Then I cut Version two and start writing the pattern as I stitch along.
Then I bribe a friend to do it and critique it
Then I offer it to you as I am quilting my version....
Except this time.
I still have Version one.. with all its boo boos.
Version two got awarded somewhere along the way ...without photos. Which is good, it is doing what it was intended to do... but HOW did I forget it's photo???
and I DID make a Version three.... and Yes... its in plaids... but... It still needs its borders - so I am going to save it for another blog post - just to bother you... annoy you... and well... let you know that my best laid plans.... fail...
Its all good tho... and I don't stress - I sorta laugh at myself....
Here is the original ..
What have you got finished up? Share away!!

Boo boos? I don't see any boo boos! It's a lovely quilt and you are so lucky to have a friendly quilt binder!
I have nothing to show here today, but I LOVE your quilt!
Thanks for sharing the insider story! Your quilts are always beautiful.
Your version doesn't appear to have any mistakes, Alycia. Congrats on finishing it up! We would have been even MORE impressed if you had bound it, too. :P
Hooray for having it ready to bind and be donated. I'm sure one of your QOV sew day friends will be more than happy to finish it off!
Amazing how those left over bits and pieces can become a whole new beautiful project. Looks great! I'm putting the final border on a Quilt of Valor this afternoon.
Now you've got me curious about version three! However, there is no such thing as mistakes, remember??? They are design options. :) I love your quilt, and it looks perfect to me!
This looks great to me…and lovely to have it done!
Nice quilt for a great cause! Did it make a dent in the 5 in. bin? No matter what I sew, somehow the bins stay full!
Hi Alycia, it's good to laugh at ourselves and remember that we are only human! Your quilt looks great - so good luck with version 3! Thanks for the linking party.
Beautiful quilt Alycia, and for a great cause.
Version one looks great! I guess if you finish one fast, it's easy to forget to photograph it. I take forever to finish a project, so I get lots of photos.
