Starry, Starry Night

The Mystery Quilting Project – now known as “Starry Starry Night” – is officially done, and revealed!

After I put this all together, I had a few moments of panic, thinking it was almost dizzying…but I think it turned out ok, and is almost what I had originally envisioned. The Don McLean song, Vincent (Starry Starry Night), kept going through my head while I worked on the quilt, hence the name.

This is only the second quilt I’ve ever actually finished. I have plenty of quilt tops in various stages of piecing, but this is only the second I’ve quilted, bound off, and given away! I should really try to finish the Wildberry Vines quilt, or the Christmas quilt, or the two Jo-Ann’s quilt-block-of-the-month quilts from several years ago, or the hope chest cover quilt that I started a couple of years ago…one of these days. (Does anyone else see a pattern here? I think I need deadlines to actually complete things!)

Now, just as soon as we’re done with the basement remodeling – which is something that does indeed have a deadline – I can get back to my regularly scheduled knitting!
