Oh! I love it! It looks so much like mine - LOL! Yours is so beautifully pieced! I know how much work you put into this gorgeous quilt! How are you going to quilt it?
I'm piecing a back for mine out of goofs and extra cut strips. I trimmed the mis-shaped blocks down to 2.5" and made new designs out of them. Then I got a little carried away and used some of my 2" blocks to make larger blocks, cut some 3" blocks to make the back bigger, and now I'm using some of the short left over pieces to make scrappy blocks to fill out the back. Good grief! Feels like I should post a picture!

Thank you all for the wonderful compliments! I can't take credit for the color selection - I stuck with the colors that Bonnie Hunter used for the mystery. I did her Orca Bay mystery quilt and picked my own colors and learned that I need to work on my color "value" choices, so I decided to stick with her colors for this quilt. I don't know yet how I am going to quilt it, but it will probably be done with an edge to edge pantograph of some type - I'm not skilled enough to do any fancy custom quilting yet.
