My first finish of the year is a QOV top. The pattern is Mystery 26 from the Yahoo Group
Mystery Quilts 4 Military. This is the second quilt I've made using this pattern. The first one I ended up giving my parents for Christmas and I made this one as a replacement to donate.

Hatch and Windows - Take 2 |
This was the first version I made (that my parents now own)...

Hatch and Windows (Original Version) |
To be honest, I really like the colors in both versions. I'm also quilting a red, white and blue one that a friend made and it's beautiful as well. I think I just really like the pattern. It's basically made up of 2 blocks...

Blocks for Hatch and Windows Quilts |
For the new quilt, I just went with a simple set of borders, because I didn't have enough of the background fabric to make the diamond border in the original. I think it looks fine both ways though.

Simple border treatment |
I'm going to try to get this quilted quickly so we can get them in to the hands of soldiers as soon as possible. I have to finish quilting the RWB version first though.
Sam has been putting on a little winter weight lately and I've had to restrict her food some. Can you see how happy she is about it?
Here's hoping the scales are treating you a little better than her!
Until later...

I like both versions. I especially like that it is only two blocks!
