In 2018, Hyggeligt hosted Kaffe Fasset's mystery quilt. I had kept up quite nicely with the blocks until the 2nd last month and then life got in the way. I got them out last summer and finished all the blocks. But, I didn't want another queen sized quilt so decided to play with the arrangements until I could come up with two lap quilts. The fabrics with the kit were generous so I was able to make up a few extra blocks in the right colours and dug into my stash to make the two quilts work. I'm very happy with how they turned out. My neighbour across the street, Chris Bogart quilted then both with a nice overall design and they are now in the grandkids' graduation quilt collection. (click on the photos to enlarge)

This backing was one of those lovely internet purchases where I sent Chantal at Hyggeligt a photo of the top and asked what she would recommend for backing. She just got this in and I ordered it right away and it was perfect!

These two quilts were finally finished and bound in early March.

Did you put that lattice screen on to hold quilts? It works well. Great additions to the grad quilt pile
*up. Not on!
Nice quilts. Yes, that backing is great for that quilt.
