Deana's QUILTERS GARDEN row quilt

I have had so many positive comments and interest in my last post. I thought I would just show you how the quilt was designed. It was a row by row quilt and a mystery. Each month we were given the instructions to make a block. If we made one we would get the next months pattern for FREE. We could make extras and swap them also. Over the months I swapped many blocks. It was great to receive many different fabrics that in the end all went together. I didn't make the required amount of blocks each month so my quilt hasn't come out the same size as the full size quilt. At the end of the months I didn't want to make the extra blocks...
That's why my design is completely different....
Here is Deana's  from

Isn't it just lovely. This is Deana's own design. She has done a fabulous job.....

My progress with a Quilters Garden Mystery

I have planned my quilt. It is always hard when you participate in a block swap. They don't always measure the same. I love the challenge of working around this.
I didn't do the required amount of blocks that Deana has done for her row by row quilt..
I have trimmed and played, measured and added.... This is the results so far......

The top section

 The middle section waiting on my last block to come in the mail

 The bottom section.

Look at all those beautiful quilts that are hanging.

See where I have filled some spaces with the bonus half square triangles. They were used to make it all up to size. Now I have to add a one inch strip all the way around and my border blocks hopefully will fit. I'm not sure yet. It still has to be laid out.

I am happy with it so far especially because I have put them together so soon.

Well, my last block has arrived from Denise.....

So I have trimmed it to fit in the middle row..

And here it is... The top is together. I only have to get the borders sewn on...

FNWF...... & My 2 quilts in the garden blocks are here. Border blocks done. Possible layout.

Is everyone going to join in this Friday with us stitchers. It's FNWF time over at

This block has come all the way from Kathi in Alaska.... The quilt on the fence is so cute

Thankyou Kathi

And this one is from Linda T.

I have managed to make all 26 of my border blocks for this months finish....

And I even made the bonus Half square triangles too.....

So I had a play with the layout of the blocks. This was a row by row quilt but I am not doing mine in rows. Mine will look a bit busier and come out a completely different size. Oh the challenge.

I will fill in the spaces with the half square triangles and trim some blocks to make them all fit in.

This is what I have so far....

The empty space is for the one  I am still waiting on. A tree block is to come from Linda Th....
