Deana: Tuesday Linkups

Last night I got nearly half of my 25 blocks sewn together for my Grand Illusion quilt.  I am making half of the blocks different from the other half - at least on color placement.  I never made the last two parts of the instructions so I am making use of the pieces I had previously pieced.  If you are making this quilt you might notice that my center block is not a 4-patch as she designed.  I am also changing the border and sashing to accommodate the look I want as well as the units I have finished.  I hope to have more to show soon.



Some more units in progress...

This is how the alternate blocks will look.  I have to use up those pieces I already made.

The way I plan to finish it if I have enough blue...

I am linking up today with:
Scraptastic Tuesday - because this quilt is made entirely from my stash and leftovers from other quilts.

    Oh I LOVE your version!! The white/black polka dots are perfect. And that pop of purple just finishes it off. Looking forward to seeing the completed quilt. Beautiful!

    WOW! Your version is SO much prettier than the example version and most of the quilts that I've seen in this pattern thus far! But that's just my opinion... :)

    This is going to be great Deana! I think your polka dot fabric adds a really wonderful touch and your changes will be a good improvement! It takes guts to do a mystery quilt straight out! I'd do mine after the mystery has been revealed, because then you can tweak it for your personal preferences. LOL

    I like what you're doing with your mystery! I'm changing mine up, too. I've got my 25 blocks finished and need to frame them now.

    I really like how you've changed this, especially with the center. Love those dots!
